The 36-year-old, whose first spell at Villa was from 2007 until 2011, loves Villa and the fans and is enjoying playing under manager Steven Gerrard, according to the report.

Whilst speaking about the future of Ashley Young at Aston Villa, the former Liverpool captain compared his player to Milner. Gerrard said that Young is a player who can come in and do any job on a football pitch. He added that there aren’t many people who can do that, especially at his age as well. And that he’s one of a few, like James Milner, who are a manager’s dream.


Gerrard is clearly a huge fan of Milner, who he played together with for England. Gerrard also continued by saying that certain situations crop up where you need someone to come in and do a certain type of job. It doesn’t matter whether it’s on the left, the right, in the middle, in attack, it doesn’t matter what you ask them to do, they just carry it out.Continue reading
