Stewart Downing and the two year hitch

It's widely known that Man Utd have adopted a couple of firm policies when it comes to player dealings.

Firstly, they want to stick to players under 26 years old when it comes to bringing in new faces to retain a potential resale value.

Secondly, they won't allow existing players to enter into the last two years of their contracts if at all possible.
