Ashley Young backed to become next player to join Chinese Super League side
The England international has struggled for game time since Jose Mourinho's arrival in the summer, making just nine appearances for Manchester United this term.
The 31-year-old has reportedly attracted interest from the likes of West Brom and Watford, who are keen to take him on loan for the rest of the season.

Young signed for United under Sir Alex Ferguson in 2011 for £17m and has gone on to win the Premier League, FA Cup and Community Shield in 151 appearances.
