Liverpool and United looking to battle it out for Ashley Young
Liverpool and Manchester United are currently contemplating a mover for Aston Villa's star winger Ashley Young. The player has quite simply been superb ever since he signed for the team, but has often seemed to be a rather big fish in a small pond.
However with both the teams looking to move in for the player it appears as though the player might finally move to a team that he would be worthy of playing amongst. The only stepping stone in both the team's way at the moment is the ridiculous price tag
that has been slapped onto the player. Aston Villa's manager Gerard Houllier has currently expressed his concern about the player’s future at the club and has stated that he is well aware of the threat that the other big teams possess at the moment, as a result
the manager has slapped a hefty eighty million pound evaluation on the player.
Young however at the moment doesn't seem to be in any rush to leave the team in the near future. He is currently looking to finally fit in amongst the talent of younger players that has seemed to flood Villa Park this season and he would be looking achieve
something at the club finally.
That being said any interest that is shown clubs like Liverpool or United will have some negative effect to like other clubs will also want a look into the matter and the player will himself start to estimate his new value.
Young has also been delaying his contract talks with the club and his current contract is set to run out in eighteen months. However neither one of the teams if going to pay the ridiculous eighty million that Aston Villa are looking to demand for the player,
which means that unless Villa don't reconsider Young isn't going anywhere.
Chances are that Villa have made such outrageous demands for the player, so that no team looks to tap up his talent in the January transfer window. However they will be well aware of the fact that once the summers come, then it would be close to impossible
to hold on to Young with half the football world looking to retain his services. Experts are currently estimating that the team can get as much as thirty million pounds for the winger and that is a sum of money that can seriously help rebuild Villa back to
the way it was in its glory days.
