Ashley Young scores in Villa cup win
Winger Ashley Young has signed for Manchester United from Premier League rivals Aston Villa on a five-year deal.
The 25-year-old, reported to have cost United about £17m, passed his medical with the league champions on Thursday.
"The opportunity to come to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world is one I couldn't turn down," the former Watford player told MUTV.
"It's a chance to hopefully become part of the history by helping to win the 20th title."
Young, had been at Villa for more than four years after joining from the Hornets but only had one year left on his contract.
He becomes the club's second signing of the summer following the arrival of Phil Jones with Watford set to get 15% of any figure above the Villa £9.65m transfer fee.
