Villa's Young not settled at left back

Luke Young has admitted he does not feel comfortable at left-back and does not see his long term Aston Villa future there. Young said: "Playing at left-back is a different thing for me to get my head around. I am getting on with it and doing a job and if the manager wants to play me there, I'll do my best.

"Obviously it is not my best position and, at times on the pitch, it becomes difficult when I am on the wrong side and I've got to try to manoeuvre my way out of trouble and things like that.

"I am doing my best there, I am doing a job for the side and, hopefully at some stage, I might be able to get back on the right.

"I played there when I was a young lad, and there was no-one fit, at Tottenham. In those days I slotted in here, there and everywhere - but I haven't played there for a good eight or nine years.

"I've played three games there now, felt that I've done okay, but it is not really where I see my future."
