Aston Villa winger Ashley Young believes that incoming manager Gerard Houllier is the man to guide the club to success.

The former Liverpool boss takes over at Villa Park next week and Young expects a man of his ilk to bring with him a winning culture and help the club push for trophies this season.

"You look at his history and how well he has done as a manager and he can only bring success here," Young said.

"Moving the club forward is what we want and we can't wait to work with the boss.

"Last year, we suffered ¬disappointment in both cups, but ¬fingers-crossed it will be different this time. We want to win trophies at Villa."
