Who's to say Arsenal didn't reach out to him? Also you have to remember, for a footballer to have the chance to play at the most decorated club in English football history, that's a hard opportunity to pass up. I don't like United in the least bit, but I can't discredit their history in the English game, and the incredible things they've accomplished under Fergie. The lure of representing a club like United in England and in the Champions League is difficult to pass up.
I'm happy for Ashley Young, I knew there was only a matter of time before one of the big boys swooped in and took him from Villa. He's a great player, he's a great attitude, and he deserves the chance to win a title domestically and in Europe. At £15 million, he will be a great signing for years to come. I think under Sir Alex's direction, he could be one of the best British wingers for a long time.
