Young targets 20th title for United
>> Friday, June 24, 2011
EUROSPORT-New Manchester United signing Ashley Young is already targeting the club's 20th league title after agreeing a five-year deal at Old Trafford.
The England international, 26 next month, passed a medical in Manchester and the formalities of the transfer, reported to be worth anything between £16 million and £20 million, from Aston Villa were completed within 24 hours.
He becomes United's second signing of the summer, following Blackburn's England Under-21 international Phil Jones after he was signed for £16.5 million almost a fortnight ago.
"The opportunity to come and play for one of the biggest clubs in the world is one I couldn't turn down," Young told MUTV.
"It's a chance to hopefully become part of the history by helping to win the 20th title.
"It's a prospect I always looked at from being a child - to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world.
"I've got that opportunity now so I've just got to take it with two hands."
