As much as I would love to see him come back and be brilliant, the reality is he isn’t the player he was 10 years ago. Yes it would be great to have a bit more experience in the dressing room, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we should be signing older players.
He struggled with the pace of the Premier League in his last few seasons at Utd, and although he managed 30+ games in Serie A last season, it is arguably a far less competitive and physically demanding league.
Imagine if Young did sign and then Targett picks up a serious injury, we’d be forced into changing the entire system just to accommodate him because (unfortunately) he isn’t mobile enough to play an attacking wing-back role anymore.
He was a fantastic player for us, no doubt, but his time has past and IMO we should just let sleeping dogs lye.
