LUKE Young will play a part in Villa’s pre-season Guadiana Cup tournament in Portugal after dramatically snubbing a move to Liverpool.
Martin O’Neill wants the out-of-favour defender to boost his match fitness after the player yesterday rejected a £2.5 million switch to Anfield.
But Young is set to feature in Saturday and Sunday’s matches against Feyenoord (9.30pm) and Benfica (9.15pm) after missing three friendlies.The popular 31-year-old right-back was excused pre-season match action while he contemplated a move to Roy Hodgson’s Reds.
