Young has been reduced to a bit-part player

While the versatile defender-cum-midfielder (or striker if you’re playing for LVG) has been a loyal servant to Manchester United, it is perhaps time to move on and say goodbye.

There was an ambitious bid from a Chinese Super League club for Young in January, but Mourinho viewed the former England international as a useful back-up player that he needed in a heavy congestion period for the Red Devils.

Indeed Mourinho was right and Young has been used at left-back in the Premier League – a damning indication of Luke Shaw’s future – but I would think Mourinho will have a different point of view in the summer months when he has the chance to replace him.

Young is currently on a £130,000 per-week contract which is a huge amount of money for a bit-part player.

Fee: £10m (two years left on his contract)
