DBasia.news – Inter Milan coach, Antonio Conte, sees Ashley Young as a flexible player and needed by his team. Conte was recruited from Manchester United this January.
Young landed at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza after being bailed out with a tag of 1.5 million Euros. The 34-year-old player also received a contract until the end of the 2019-20 season plus an extension option for one year.
“At United, sometimes Ashley Young plays on the left and right. “He is one of the most flexible players who started his career as a winger, but later became a defender,” Antonio Conte said as quoted from Inter’s official website.
“Young played five times when United played with a composition of three defenders. He is a reliable player and we need a type of player like him, “continued Conte.
On the same occasion, Conte also claimed not to rush to give Young’s debut opportunity. According to Conte, Young must familiarize himself with Inter’s training methods before going on his debut party.
“Young had just arrived, this is a team that has been practicing the mechanism for six months, both on and off ball possession.”
“Young will train today, tomorrow and next week we will get an idea of how he will train with us. He will be ready for the next home match, against Cagliari, “said Conte.
