Ashley Young has rejected Manchester United's one-year extension offer as he wants to join Inter Milan.

Manchester United are desperate for Ashley Young to stay on at Old Trafford for another year, reports The Sun.

United are keen to avoid the embarrassment of seeing their captain agreeing to a mid-season deal to walk away in the summer on a free transfer.

It is understood Young's decision to leave Old Trafford is based on playing time, with the defender feeling he is at the stage of his career where he wants to play regular football.

The final decision on his future will be left to United, but Young hopes - after eight-and-a-half seasons in Manchester - he will be allowed to pursue another challenge elsewhere.

Conte remains a big fan of United's captain and wanted to sign him in the summer of 2017 when he was in charge of Chelsea. It is understood Conte is willing to offer Young an 18-month contract with the Italian side.

Young moved to Old Trafford from Aston Villa in 2011 and has made 261 appearances for the club.
