Ashley Young has promised Manchester United fans he will see them in an away end, as he penned a classy message to the club upon his transfer to Inter Milan.
Young completed his move to Inter after 11 years at United. He signs a contract until the end of the season at the San Siro, with the option of another year.
The winger-turned-full-back was popular at Old Trafford, making 261 appearances in total, scoring 19 goals and registering 43 assists. He also won the Premier League under Sir Alex Ferguson, as well as the FA Cup, League Cup, Europa League and three Community Shields.
As the 34-year-old ends his United career with a move to Italy, Young took to social media to thank the club and the fans for the last 11 years.
He wrote: "To @ ManUtd: you gave me the chance to play with legends, to win trophies, to work under the greatest manager in history and to be your captain. Thank you for letting me be part of your story for eight and a half years."
Then, addressing the fans, he added: "To the United fans: every time I walked on the pitch wearing your shirt I gave you my all. Thank you for your support during the highs and the lows. I leave as one of you, see you again in an away end soon."
He accompanied the message with a picture among United fans at an away game with fans chanting.
Among the replies to Young when he posted the same message to Instagram was former United striker Radamel Falcao, who posted: "All the best Ash!!!"

Inter Milan have now taken Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sánchez & Ashley Young from us in the last 2 transfer windows. Any chance they could take Ed Woodward away from us too, please?

As a captain that departs from a club he was at for 8yrs and to send a message like this, it Was so poor, it seems just throw out there, careless/carefree and definitely very emotionless..
