Ashley Young has been angered by Manchester United's decision to block his move to Inter Milan this month.
The former England international has virtually agreed a move to the San Siro as a free agent in the summer but would prefer to complete his switch to Italy this month.
Inter, it is understood, are willing to pay a fee for Young to conclude the swoop immediately.
However, United - as it stands - are unwilling to let the 34-year-old leave this month due to the number of defensive injuries they have, while there is a recognition that the dressing room would miss his leadership.
The stance has left Young frustrated given his preference to join in January. United could yet change their mind if they sufficiently reinforce their squad this month but Young is now preparing to see out the final six months of his deal at Old Trafford before joining Inter in the summer.
Young's resolve to leave Old Trafford for Italy has also been strengthen by what appears a token last ditch effort to keep him.
News emerged of United offering Young a new contract on Thursday in a bid to prevent the 34-year-old from leaving for Italy.
Sportsmail understands United's offer was a 12 month extension on the same ยฃ110,000-per-week wage. Young is understood to have rejected the contract offer from United.
Inter on the other hand are prepared to offer Young an 18 month contract on a figure significantly north of what he currently earns at Old Trafford at the moment - something United were aware of.
There is also a sense that United's contract offer has come too late given they've known all along that he would be able to discuss a pre-contract with overseas clubs from January.
Young has also been hugely impressed by Antonio Conte's vision for Inter, who are firmly in the Serie A title race. Indeed the prospect of winning a league title in a new country is an idea that appeals to the United star.
Conte is a long term admirer of Young; he asked about signing the United man when he was Chelsea manager.
United are not giving up hope of Young agreeing a new deal before the summer - but unless Young has a change of heart the versatile left-footer is expected to join Inter Milan ahead of next season.

Could Someone Within The Club Please Speak Up And Say Something. There Are Or Must Be Some Serious Issues. For A Club Captain To State That He No Longer Wanna Don The Colours Is A Kick In The Teeth.

why would a player be happy at a club that keeps disrespecting him over and over again, the fans abuse him and blame him even when they have a fight with their spouse at home. they've told him he's not needed many times, now that his contract is coming to an end and they have many injury woes they want to keep him? no! pogba on the other hand has pampered from day one, given everything but doesn't want to play for the club.
Pogba was still the best player at the club but was made a scapegoat by a lot of the Man Utd faithful particularly when they ended the last season badly. Gary Neville always points the finger at him first and doesn't ever criticise the English lot which shows a level of bias there. I'm sure Pogba must be feeling discriminated in a way because he gets the brunt of the criticism which other academy English players seem to escape

Man Utd are not learning from their mistakes. They are keeping unhappy players at the club. Where are all the Manchester United fans that got so angry with Pogba now?? What do y'all have to say about Ashley Young who wants to leave United? It's very clear that some players don't want to stay at United in the current scenario and feel that their careers are better served elsewhere. It's just the reality of the situation like it or not.

This is why am angry with Ole he want to sell players but cannot buy any player.. Young can go but the question is that is Ole going to buy players to replace the once he have sold we do not have striker no midfielders and no CB and he is smiling I do not know what is making him to smile.

United should let Young go, not much he really got to offer United again. United, Go and a get a replacement and stop foot-dragging about that.
