MILAN (AP) – Manchester United captain Ashley Young is nearing a transfer to Inter Milan, United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed on Friday as the fullback was seen going for a medical in Italy.
''He is 35 in the summer and, if he gets a two-year contract somewhere, I think it's up to him to take that,'' Solskjaer said. ''We weren't ready to offer that.
''He's been a good servant for the club. He's been captain and he's won trophies, leagues, cups, but we've got players coming through. So it was time now, then. When Ashley's head and mindset was on, `Yeah, I want to try this,' why not do it now?
