The guru issued his famous “here we go!” tweet to announce that the former Manchester United captain will join on a free transfer after his contract at Villa expired at the end of last season.

Young has enjoyed a fine career, playing at the top level for the best part of two decades.

Sir Alex Ferguson signed him from Aston Villa back in 2011 and he went on to play over 250 times for United.

Young started at United as a flying winger before eventually deputising at full-back in the latter years at the club.

The Englishman scored 43 times for United, winning the Premier League and two FA Cup titles across his 9 year stay in Manchester.

Young moved to Inter Milan in the summer of 2019 and won a Serie A title under the guidance of Antonio Conte during his time in Italy.

His latest move to Everton is a nod to his professionalism down the years with him still going strong just two years away from his 40th birthday.
