Manchester City: Ashley Young’s revelation over nearly signing for Blues has fans crying

Following a candid interview with the Utd Podcast, Ashley Young touched on many subjects, including the fact that he had offers from numerous clubs to join them before signing for Manchester United – including rivals Manchester City.

Young, who has since went on to make 257 appearances for United, winning one Premier League title and scoring 18 goals while assisting 43 others from midfield, as per Transfermarkt, has revealed that City was a potential option for him before Sir Alex Ferguson’s Red Devils came calling at the time.
