Manchester United are closing in on the £15million signing of Aston Villa winger Ashley Young.The England international's representatives are locked in discussions with Old Trafford officials in an attempt to thrash out the transfer within the next 48 hours.
Young is keen to finalise the move before he gets married in Hertfordshire this weekend so that it does not disrupt his honeymoon plans.
The 25-year-old’s agent, Eric Walters, was understood to have been at United’s training ground at Carrington on Wednesday to complete terms with Villa resigned to losing the star, who is out of contract next year.
Sir Alex Ferguson will complete a dramatic transfer double over Liverpool in the next 48 hours by signing England winger Ashley Young from Aston Villa in a £15million deal.
Young's imminent arrival will complete a remarkable coup for Ferguson following the capture of Blackburn Rovers defender Phil Jones.
The Manchester United manager took time out from his holiday in the south of France to ambush old rival Kenny Dalglish by paying £16.5m to snatch the teenage England Under 21 international from the Anfield club's grasp.
Ferguson will take his summer spending to almost £50m when he completes the signing of Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea from Atletico Madrid.
Although 20-year-old De Gea insisted he will make an announcement on his future after the European Under 21 Championship, a £17.8m deal is already in place as United look to replace Edwin van der Sar, who retired at the end of the season.
