Villa winger Young won over by Houllier ways

Aston Villa winger Ashley Young admits he's been won around by new manager Gerard Houllier.

Young, who has two years left on his current deal, is currently on international duty with England ahead of their Euro 2012 qualifier with Montenegro on Tuesday night.

Former Liverpool boss Houllier has already stated his intent on keeping Young at Villa Park for as long as possible, particularly as he attracted the interest of Tottenham in the summer.

And Young, 25, has echoed the thoughts of his manager in expecting to negotiate a new contract with the midlands club.

He said: "I am delighted with the manager and the new regime and the way things are going.

"I've got two years left of my contract and I'm just concentrating on the football side of things and I am sure everything will get sorted."
