Young surprised at the age of 40

Former Manchester United star continues to play at the top level in England despite his old age.

Young has no intention of retiring.

Ashley Young, a veteran player with nearly 500 Premier League appearances, has officially chosen Ipswich Town as his new destination after leaving Everton at the end of last season. Although Watford - the team where he shone early in his career - was enthusiastically pursuing him, the salary requirement was beyond the club's ability, causing the deal to fall through, paving the way for Ipswich to take action.

According to talkSPORT , Watford even considered giving Young the captain's armband to convince him to return to Vicarage Road. However, Ipswich, under the leadership of coach Kieran McKenna, acted quickly and completed the contract with the former MU star.

Coach McKenna highly values Young's extensive experience and leadership qualities, especially when the team aims to be promoted to the Premier League next season after a disappointing year.

Young - who is 40 years old - has an impressive record of six titles with Manchester United, a Serie A title with Inter Milan, and has been a mainstay at Aston Villa and many other big clubs during his two decades as a professional.

If all formalities are completed, Young will make his Ipswich debut in the coming weeks, with a key fixture against former club Watford at Portman Road on November 4. The return leg between the two sides will take place at Vicarage Road on February 24.

Along with recruiting Young, Ipswich are also rushing to upgrade their squad for the Championship campaign, with notable recruits such as Dutch midfielder Azor Matusiwa, defender Cedric Kipre and experienced goalkeeper David Button.
