​Man Utd boss Mourinho to retain Young despite Stoke interest

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has decided to keep Ashley Young at the club.

According to the Sun, the winger has become a target of United's Premier League rivals, Stoke City.

However, with Champions League football this season, the 32-year old remains in Mourinho's plans. Young's flexibility and athleticism allow for him to play as a right wing-back, as well as pushing further up the field.

The Englishman has been at club since moving from Aston Villa for £15m in 2011 and has gone on to make 164 appearances for the Red Devils.
