Former Manchester United player Ashley Young has revealed that he decided to leave Old Trafford for Inter Milan after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told him he would get limited game time.
Young said Solskjaer wanted to bring in young players into the first team. That would have meant limited opportunities for Young. So the 36-year-old decided to leave United and join Inter. Young said:
“Obviously being in England all my life, it was a totally different change, but it was an experience that I jumped at. It was an opportunity for me to go and play regularly. I spoke to Ole, and he said that I wasn’t going to play as much as I wanted to."
“When you’re coming towards the end of your career, you want to be playing as much as you can. I’m as fit as anyone, and I feel like I’ve still got a lot to give. Ole said that he was going to bring younger players through and that I wasn’t going to have as many opportunities."
“When the opportunity arose to come to Inter, it was a no-brainer for me. I was like ‘get me on the plane; get me out there; get me signed on the dotted line.'"
Ashley Young has prospered since leaving Manchester United in January 2020 to join Inter. The former England international won the Serie A title with Antonio Conte's team before returning to the Premier League with Aston Villa.
