Manchester United are chasing Aston Villa winger Ashley Young. The People says United will try to take advantage of player unrest at Aston Villa with a £20million January move for Young.
United's serious interest in signing the contract rebel emerged in the same week that Villa's stars held crisis talks behind manager Gerard Houllier's back to try to sort out the club's problems.
United will try to get the deal done for the 25-year-old England man in the January transfer window but, if it cannot be pushed through, Sir Alex Ferguson will return next summer.
The fact that Young is not cup-tied in the Champions League means Fergie would have him available for the knock-out campaign. Ryan Giggs, now closing in on retirement, is not able to play in as many games as he did earlier in his career and Ferguson sees Young as a better alternative to Ji-Sung Park.
