Ashley Young has been offered a new 12 month contract by Manchester United - but the veteran wants a longer term deal.

The utility man has played a key role for the club this season and discussions over extending his stay at Old Trafford are well underway.

United are keen to tie the 33-year-old down to an extension, but their reluctance to offer the former England international anything over a year's contract is proving a stumbling block.

However, the veteran full-back wants a longer term deal to extend his stay at Old Trafford

Young wants to stay at Old Trafford beyond the end of the season but wants a longer contract than United are offering at the moment.

Inter Milan are monitoring Young's situation with a view to signing him on a free transfer when his current deal expires in the summer.

Young started his career at Watford before making a move to Aston Villa in 2007. Following his four-year stint at Villa Park, he sealed his big-money move to United where he had won five titles with the Red Devils.
