Ashley Young will finally complete his £16million switch to Manchester United in the next 24 hours after coming through his medical.
Young was assessed by United’s medical team this afternoon at the private Bridgewater Hospital near Manchester city centre.
Young’s tests were the final hurdles in his move from Aston Villa to Old Trafford and the transfer was agreed earlier this month before he went on holiday.
The England winger will sign a five-year deal with United, which will double his wages to £130,000-a-week.
United are making Young one of the best-paid players at the club to fight off Liverpool and Manchester City and the Blues were ready to hand him an even bigger deal.
