Young: I turned down Man Utd in January to keep Villa up


Ashley Young admitsManchester United first came in for him in January.
The United winger revealed he chose to stay with Aston Villa to help them avoid the drop.
He told manutd.com: "I actually found out about it in January. At the time we were in a bit of a sticky situation at Villa and in a battle to stay up, so the clubs said they’d talk again in the summer and see where things were.
"There were other clubs interested but as soon as I heard about the interest from United I just wanted to get here and sign. I knew it was the right club. Everyone, not just the players but all the staff as well, made me feel very welcome from day one."
