I know I really shouldn’t do this, but after watching the rubbish on display today, I thought it was worth a laugh;

This story is rubbish in so many ways, that it’s, just well… total and utter rubbish.
For a start, we offered Young £70,000 a week to stay, by all accounts.
So why would he accept the £20,000 we’d probably offer him?
Second, he’s a diving idiot, which is why Moyes wants rid (and fair play to him, for that).
And I won’t even mention the fact that he’d be booed everytime he stepped out onto the hallowed turf, purely because he thought he was a big fish in a little pond, who actually turned out to be a very little fish in a big pond.
That, plus the fact that he’s been incredibly poor for Utd.
Then add in the fact that Lambert doesn’t like/understand what wide players might have to offer and you see this link is just a total joke.
It is the Mail though, to be fair, so we shouldn’t be surprised.
If we were ever to re-sign him, I really think I’d never set foot in Villa park again.
It’s that serious.
And I really liked him, when he played for us.
