Man Utd, Liverpool target Young drops Villa stay hint

Ashley Young has hinted he is eyeing a long-term stay with Aston Villa.

Manchester United, Tottenham and Liverpool are all keen admirers of the 25-year-old but he insists his football is the priority at the moment and any contract issues will be resolved at the end of the season.

This season, he has already scored Villa's 500th Premier League goal on home soil after his brace in the 4-1 win over Blackburn last month, but the ambitious captain is targeting more joy.

"I wasn't aware of that statistic but I'm delighted to be the one to get the 500th home goal," he told the Birmingham Mail.

"It's a massive milestone for the club - maybe I can go on and get the 1,000th in all Premier League games.''
