Young started his career at Watford and made his first senior appearance in 2003 under manager Ray Lewington. He became a first team regular in the 2004–05 season and was one of Watford's key players in their promotion-winning 2005–06 season. In January 2007, he transferred to Aston Villa for an initial fee of £8 million where he won the PFA Young Player of the Year award in 2009. In June 2011, Young signed with Manchester United for a fee of around £17 million. He won five trophies at United, including the Premier League in 2013, the FA Cup in 2016 and the Europa League in 2017. In January 2020, Young signed for Inter Milan.
STYLE OF PLAY
Young has played in a variety of positions: though chiefly a winger,[10] he has also experienced game-time as a forward–under Boothroyd at Watford and once under Van Gaal at Manchester United[48][49] – as well as in a free role behind the striker for Aston Villa.
During his later years at United, Young was re-invented as a defender, deployed as a left-sided full back or wing back. WhoScored's Martin Laurence stated in 2018 that "Luke Shaw can't get a kick at Manchester United and that is down to the form of Ashley Young, who has adapted to another new role superbly. Young is now proving to be an aggressive and intelligent defender, all while still offering a threat going forwards with his delivery into the box. On current form the 32-year-old shouldn't just make the cut, but be considered as England's first choice."[93] Other than being deployed as a left-back, Young had also being deployed as a right-back. On 12 September 2017 Young was being deployed as a right-back in a 3–0 win against Basel in the Champions League, assisting with the opening goal with a cross to Marouane Fellaini in the 35th minute, Young was also captain for the match.[62]
Ashley Young has courted controversy, having been accused of diving by the press and has been spoken to by former managers Sir Alex Ferguson and David Moyes about diving to gain an unfair advantage.[94][95]
PERSONAL LIFE
Young was born in Stevenage, Hertfordshire.[96] He has one older brother[97] and two football-playing younger brothers, Lewis, who made his debut for Watford in 2008,[98] and Kyle, who in April 2009 was training at the Arsenal Academy.[99] Young attended The John Henry Newman School in Stevenage, and played school football alongside Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, who was in the same year.[97] Young's Jamaican-born father[100] supports Tottenham Hotspur, while Young himself, like his older brother, favoured Arsenal. His hero and "role model on and off the pitch" was Ian Wright.[97] Young has been married to Nicky Pike since June 2015. They had planned a wedding in 2011 but called it off two days before.[101]
