Young will finalise the move once he returns from holiday but the deal has been agreed in principal.
According to media speculation, Ashley Young has been offered £130,000-a-week contract to join United. His agent Eric Walters had been in negotiations at Old Trafford this week to finalise the deal.
The winger had one year left on his £65,000-a-week contract at Villa Park and Young will now become one of the highest earners at United, having reiterated his desire to play at the top level in recent weeks after picking up the man of the match award in England's 2-2 draw with Switzerland on Saturday.
