Ashley Young will fly to Italy today to undergo a medical with Inter Milan after Manchester United agreed to sell their captain for £1.3 million.

United had wanted to keep Young until his contract expired in June, but in the end they granted the 34-year-old his wish to leave for Inter. As well as the initial transfer fee, Inter will pay United a small add-on if they win Serie A. Inter, who are managed by Antonio Conte, are two points behind the leaders Juventus at the halfway stage.

Provided that he passes his medical, Young will sign an 18-month contract. Should he play a certain number of games a further 12-month extension will be triggered. He will be reunited with his former United team-mates Romelu
