Manchester United's Ashley Young is considering potential moves away from Old Trafford, including a bid from the Chinese Super League, according to reports.

The 31-year-old has played 113 times for Manchester United since joining from Aston Villa in 2011, but has only made fleeting appearances for the club this season.

According to Sky Sports, Chinese club Shandong Luneng has made a bid for Young, alongside three Premier League clubs.

Young has won the Premier League title and FA Cup, as well as a Community Shield, in his time at United, scoring 11 times for the club.

But the former Watford winger has not started a Premier League game for two months under Jose Mourinho.
