- Italian giants Roma are eyeing a January move for Manchester United captain Ashley Young

- Young has been impressive this season for Manchester United as his contract expires at the end of the season
Manchester United captain Ashley Young has reportedly emerged as top target for Italian club Roma who are ready to make their move when the January 2019 transfer window opens.
The contract of the 33-year-old Englishman at Manchester United will expire at the end of the current Premier League season - although the Red Devils have offered him a one-year extension.
But the former Aston Villa winger is reported not to be in rush to sign a new deal at Old Trafford.
And according to the report by UK Sun, Roma chiefs want to explore the chance for them to lure Ashley Young to Italy next year.

The ball is now in Ashley Young's court for him to decide on whether to stay or leave United in January 2019 or when his contract expires.
