not a question of how old he is , in fact its irrelivant . if he has 2 years left on his contract he has to sign this summer . if not then you would start to question his loyalties . Summer 2011 would be his last chance to sign , twelve months before his contract ended , as time went on United would try to sell him but teams would know that from January 2012 they can sign him totally for free on a pre contract agreement , obviously United wouldnt lose him until July 1st 2012 but then it would be for nothing . so rather sell him now for £20m
