Ashley Young’s future remains uncertain after the reported Manchester United target refused to offer guarantees about staying at Aston Villa.<\/p>\n
The England international will be out of contract in 16 months and he has put extension discussions with manager Gerard Houllier on hold until the summer.<\/p>\n
Young was linked with a move to United or Liverpool in January and both clubs are expected to renew interest amid the player’s apparent doubts about Villa’s ambition and capabilities.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old’s current club will therefore be unhappy to hear that he once again declined the chance to offer assurances after scoring twice in Saturday’s 4-1 win over Blackburn.<\/p>\n
Young said in The Sun: “I have always said I will leave talks until the end of the season and that’s how it is.”<\/p>\n
But the former Watford man, who skippered Villa against Blackburn, despite the second-half introduction of club captain Stiliyan Petrov, will continue to give his all.<\/p>\n
He said: “Every time I pull on the shirt I go out to give 110 per cent for Villa.<\/p>\n
“I am delighted to be playing in the position I am in, just behind the main striker, and doing well for the team.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
