Former Manchester United captain Ashley Young surprised football fans this week when he returned to Inter Milan training on Monday. The coronavirus lockdown has forced footballers to stay indoors and salons and spas have remained closed during the lockdown. Haircuts have taken a turn for the worse with many stars handing a pair of scissors and a razor to their partners, while some, including Manchester United star Anthony Martial, have shaved their heads. Amidst the haircut frenzy, Ashley Young has decided to grow his hair, much to the disbelief of fans across the globe.

Ashley Young bald: Ashley Young signs Inter Milan extension 

With a potential Serie A return looming, Ashley Young returned to Inter Milan training on Monday. The former Manchester United captain signed for the Serie A side in January, penning an initial six-month contract. After seven appearances in the Italian capital, manager Antonio Conte and the club hierarchy extended the former Aston Villa star's contract. Serie A is likely to resume next month despite two Parma players testing positive for coronavirus. The Italian government laid out a protocol that an entire squad must go into a 15-day quarantine if one player tests positive for coronavirus. However, clubs and the Players' Association rejected those rules and returned to training this week.
