Ashley Young off to China?'

Manchester United outcast Ashley Young is being linked with a potential move to the Chinese Super League this month. The former England international has made just four appearances under Jose Mourinho since the start of October.

According to The Sun, Shandong Luneng are prepared to lodge a lucrative offer for the midfielder, who has just 18 months left on his previous deal.

Young, 31, recently started an FA Cup game against Reading this month, but there is still the possibility that United could seek to recoup the entire £17m paid to Aston Villa back in the summer of 2011.

United currently have the likes of Matteo Darmian and Timothy Fosu-Mensah, who both can occupy the right-back position in Antonio Valencia's absence.

Young has appeared over 150 times for Manchester United in all competitions to date.
