Ex-Watford chief Lewington: Young will be Man Utd success

Former Watford chief Ray Lewington is delighted seeing Aston Villa winger Ashley Young on the brink of moving to Manchester United.

Lewington handed Young his first pro deal while at the Hornets.

Young will now join Manchester United and attempt to become a legend at one of the world's biggest clubs.

And, fittingly, Watford will land around 15 per cent of his transfer fee.

Lewington told the People: "It's so pleasing when a lad like Ashley makes it to the top.

"He's a terrific talent, one of the best I have ever worked with, and I'm sure he will deal with this move and do really well for United."
