Manchester United have given Ashley Young a one-year contract extension, according to the multiple reports. The England left back/former winger, who’s also versatile enough to play in midfield, will now be under contract at Old Trafford until 2019.
As the Times of India points out: “The 32-year-old’s deal was due to expire this summer, but United have confirmed they have taken up the option of an extra 12 months.”
