Man Utd, Liverpool target Young fears being made Villa scapegoat

Ashley Young has concerns he's becoming the No1 scapegoat for Aston Villa's problems.

The Mirror says Young fears he is becoming a scapegoat for Aston Villa's slide down the Premier League.

Villa fans have turned on boss Gerard Houllier with the side just one point off the drop zone.

But England international Young, 25, now captain under Houllier, has also come in for flak.

The star has been accused of playing for a move rather than the team with Manchester United and Liverpool chasing him.

Young was barracked by fans near the touchline and glared at them leaving the field at Villa Park.

Now a poll this week on the Vital Villa website shows 62 per cent of fans polled expect Young to leave this summer.
