Aston Villa monitoring Ashley Young contract situation at Manchester United?

Aston Villa are reportedly keeping a close eye on former winger Ashley Young's situation at Manchester United.

The England international joined the Old Trafford club in 2011 for a fee of £18m and is now thought to be in the process of talks regarding a contract extension after impressing under coach Louis van Gaal.

According to the Daily Mail, Villa are watching the situation closely as they consider a possible move for the wideman, who has one year left to run on his current United deal.

Young has made 90 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring 10 goals for the club since his arrival.
