Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill has already conceded that James Milner can move to Manchester City if they meet Villa's £30 million valuation, but it is speculated the Irishman is in no mood to offload Ashley Young. "Martin intends to build on Villa's form from last season and the sale of key players at the club would severely undermine his ambitions," a source close to O'Neill told the Sunday Mirror.
"Young is priceless to Martin and if there was any attempt to enter into negotiations over his sale behind his back he would feel completely undermined and put in an untenable situation at the club.
"The Milner situation is completely different. He has two years left on his contract and intimated that he wants to leave and has no intention of signing a new deal at Villa Park. It makes financial sense for Villa to consider selling him."
Young has already stated his intent to remain at the club and his willingness to sign a new deal at Villa Park.
Young said: "If an offer comes about I'm more than happy than happy to stay at the club."
