Inter Milan have completed the £1.28million signing of Ashley Young from Manchester United.
The 34-year-old wing-back has put pen to paper on a six-month contract with the Italian giants, with the option to extend this for a further season. He will wear the number 15 shirt.
The deal is subjected to the completion of a medical, which is due to take place on Friday.
Young was out of contract at Old Trafford in the summer and turned down the offer of a one-year extension to remain at United.
The former Watford and Aston Villa star will link up with former Red Devils pair Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez, who is on loan, in Italy.
