6 signings by Sir Alex Ferguson who are still playing for Manchester United

#3 Ashley Young

Aston Villa v Birmingham City - Premier League

Like Valencia, Young was initially bought as an attacker, but rediscovered himself in a fullback role. Ashley Young joined United from Aston Villa for approximately £17m in the summer of 2011, after impressing for the Lions in the previous 4 seasons.

Young took over the No. 18 shirt left vacant by United legend Paul Scholes, but was a totally different player from his countryman. He was a winger with good combination of speed and skills. He had a never-say-die attitude in him and perhaps that was why he appealed to Sir Alex. He was an essential part of the team under Sir Alex, he had a good eye for a goal, was two footed and would usually create a lot of chances in the game.

After the arrival of Louis van Gaal, Young was shifted to the left back position, a decision that gave him a new lease of life. The Englishman grew in stature in his new role and was so good over the next few years that he made his way into the England team that reached the semi finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Young has appeared in eight of the nine games under Solskjaer and has wore the arm band 20 times this season in the absence of Antonio Valencia. The Englishman, as such, remains a vital component of the team under the Norwegian.
