Aston Villa turned down 19-million-Pound offer for Ashley Young: Reports
English Premier League club Aston Villa are believed to have turned down a 19-million-Pound bid for their winger http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ashley-Young-c6813 during the January transfer window for the current 2010-11 season.
The reports suggest that the English winger has attracted a lot of attention from many top clubs around the globe and it is believed that Aston Villa could find it very difficult to retain the pacey winger for the upcoming 2011-12 season. Villa have already
lost their stars http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/James-Milner-c17706 to Manchester City and would not want to lose a player of Young’s quality.
His sparking touches and runs influenced the Premier League leaders Manchester United to make a bid for the 25-year-old. It is believed that Manchester United made a bid for the England international after their Ecuadorian winger, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Valencia-c6345 was ruled
out of the season due to an ankle injury.
Apart from United, other top clubs like Manchester City and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 also had set their eyes upon the winger during the 2010-11 January transfer window but Aston Villa were never ready to let go of their ace player especially when they are already struggling
in the season.
Young came to Villa Park in 2007 from Watford and since then has put strong performances that led to the winger’s call-up for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 national squad. Though he has not been a prolific goal scorer, but his pace and dribbling abilities never let the other
teams settle. For years, he has proved to be Villa’s most reliable method of goal scoring as he has the ability to provide perfect crosses in the box for his forwards to pounce upon.
In the match against Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 on Saturday, Young proved his worth by scoring two goals in a 4-1 triumph.
Manchester United are reported to make life hard for Villa officials come the end of current season as the Red Devils will bid in excess of 20 million Pounds to land the deadly winger at the club.
