West Ham United, West Bromwich Albion, Swansea City, Burnley and Watford have all been linked with Manchester United winger Ashley Young.

Manchester United do not want Ashley Young to leave in the January transfer window, according to The Sun.

According to the British tabloid, Young asked United manager Jose Mourinho to go out on loan for the rest of the season.

That request was denied, according to the report, as the Red Devils want him to remain part of the squad in order to enhance their chances of finishing in the top four of the Premier League, and remain in the FA Cup and the Europa League.
