Ashley Young could be a shock major casualty of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's summer clear-out — just two months after signing a new deal.
Defender Young's form at Manchester United has dropped off dramatically. Skipper Young is one of the six-figure earners — and insiders have said that he might be nervously looking over his shoulder in the coming weeks.
Boss Solskjaer wants to sign up to six new faces in the next transfer window and although he will get money to spend, some players will have to go.
Young has been at Old Trafford for eight years since he joined from Aston Villa for a fee of around £17m.
The 33-year-old has scored two goals and made two assists for United in 28 league appearances this season.
And the 39-cap England international recently claimed he is "one of the leaders" at Old Trafford.
Responding to criticism after the defeat to Everton, Young said: "I know what the strength is, the characters in the dressing room, the spirit in the team we've got here.
"I know everybody wants to win those games and finish the season in the top four.
"There's going to be a lot of people turn round and say they know the club, but when you're in it day in, day out, they're the ones that really do.
"Everybody is entitled to their opinions but there are so many leaders in this team. I've got the armband, but I'm just one of the leaders."
Manchester United star Ashley Young has been the subject of vile racial abuse from fans.

De Gea. Cocked up again. This time Chelsea. Sell him. And cash in. We got Romero. Make him number one.
Do you know Dean Henderson. He can be our number one. He has shown great talent this year on loan. I believe he is our future

Ashley, Jones, Smalling out, we need players who are so aggressive, consistency, and most of all with the heart of playing for the club. Not players who are so selfish and all they want is high wages with poor performance. players like Rashfold, Sanchez, Pogba, De Gea, Lukaku, Fred, Matic, and Martial these guys have cost Man Utd so badly and poor to a level of letting small teams beating man utd. These players are so pathetic

Evans, the former centre back of ManU played solidly for Leicester City. What a bad decision to sell him.

Ashley Young should be ashamed of himself as a professional footballer in his skill to send the ball into the penalty area from the wing. He lacks precision, vision and perception.

Ashley Young should be the first to leave old Trafford. He executes a very poor defence and very poor crossing all games. Ashley should go for good

Just watching Leicester city v arsenal, their left back is far much better than the so called luke shaw, Maguire better than any of our center backs but I wonder why it's difficult for man United scouts to do the job and get right players.
