Ashley Young Set To Sign £20million Deal With Manchester United After Calling Off Wedding
The month of June is starting off to be a strong one for Young as he has now agreed to a five-year, £20m deal with Manchester United.
Just a week earlier, Young scored the tying goal for England just in their Euro Cup qualifying match against Switzerland, as they made it out of the game with a 2-2 draw following some terrible defending early in the match.
Young is the second acquisition for Sir Alex Ferguson's squad this offseason, as they acquired U-21 star Phil Jones earlier in the week. Young should immediately improve the attack for United, as they improve a midfield that struggled against Barcelona.

According to the Daily Mail, Young was set to tie the knot with his childhood sweetheart Natalie Pike on Saturday, but they have informed guests not to show up for the affair.
Instead, Young is set to fly out to Las Vegas on Sunday and be unveiled as the newest member of Manchester United.
Don't expect the signings to stop there for United, as the Daily Mail indicates that United has also opened preliminary talks with French star Samir Nasri and are also expected to sign Atletico Madrid goalkeeper David De Gea in a £17m deal.
