'Conte wanted me at Chelsea' - Young claims Inter boss tried to lure him to Stamford Bridge

Ashley Young says Antonio Conte tried to sign him while he was in charge of Chelsea, with the pair finally linking up at Inter in this season's January transfer window.

Young moved to San Siro for £1.28 million from Manchester United earlier this month, bringing to an end his eight-and-a-half-year spell at Old Trafford.

The 34-year-old was named United captain following Antonio Valencia's departure last summer, but he lost his place in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's line up at the start of the 2019-20 campaign.
