Ashley Young will reject a late move to the Chinese Super League in order to stay at Manchester United, according to The Mirror.

What’s the latest?

Over the last couple of months the 31-year-old has been linked with a big-money transfer to the Far East.

A number of high-profile players, including Carlos Tevez and Oscar, have made their way over to China, and Young is believed to be the next target.

Shandong Luneng are said to be the ones trying to nab the winger before their transfer window closes next Tuesday.

However, The Mirror reports that Young will reject their advances because he wants to stay at Old Trafford.

Is it the right call from Young?

The winger has had limited game time under Jose Mourinho this season, starting just two Premier League matches and featuring in a further three as a substitute.

It is unlikely that he will cement a regular spot in the team under the Portuguese coach, but recent performances have shown that he still has something to offer.

In the victory over Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup, Young performed well, making 98 touches and ending the game with an 87% pass success rate.

It would be understandable if the Englishman called an end to his six-year spell at United due to his lack of minutes on the pitch, but it makes better sense to wait until the end of the season.

That way he can mull over a handful of potential offers rather than follow the money to China, which is not seen as a credible league just yet.
