Man Utd striker Owen welcomes Young arrival

Manchester United striker Michael Owen has welcomed imminent new signing Ashley Young from Aston Villa.

Young is expected to put pen to paper on a five-year contract at Old Trafford in the coming days for a reported fee of £15million.

Owen wrote on his Twitter page: "I see Ashley Young has undergone a medical today. Let's hope everything goes well as he would be a great signing for us."

The 25-year-old has just a year left on his contract at Villa Park and made it clear to the club he had no intention of extending that deal.
