14 years after leaving, Ashley Young is open to the possibility of returning to his boyhood club.  

Young, who has played for Aston Villa, Manchester United, Inter Milan and represented England in two major tournaments since leaving Watford in 2006, is open to ending his glittering career in the same place it started. 

In a recent interview with Sky Sports where Young was asked if he would consider returning to Vicarage Road, he responded by saying: "It would be a difficult decision to make." 

  

Reports suggest that Watford are already in contact with Young's representatives as they aim to bolster their squad after making an immediate return to the Premier League. 

Young has had an equalling impressive season, playing a key role in Inter Milan securing their first Serie A title since 2010. 

The departure of manager Antonio Conte has been seen as a lack of ambition by the club and has also resulted in many of their top players being linked with a move away from the San Siro, including Young.  

At 35 years of age, it is likely Young would be offered a one or two year deal which would suit both parties perfectly according to a loyal 1881 Supporters Club member: "We could really do with the experience and strength in depth, and Young provides both of those aspects."

"A one or two year deal would be ideal as he's getting older and won't be needed in a couple of seasons, no matter what league the club is in."

Despite no official sources declaring Watford's interest in Young, rumours have been circulating before the seasons end therefore making this move likely to happen at some point during this transfer window.
