Darren Bent can't see Aston Villa keeping hold of teammate Ashley Young.
Young is a target for Manchester United, Liverpool and Real Madrid.
He said: "I am still trying little bits and bobs here and there to make him stay but at the end of the day he a top, top player and a top professional.
"If he wants to go and play for the second-best club side in the world, who is going to stop him?"
