Happy where he is: Defender Young (left) decided to
stay at Villa Park
Luke Young is relieved he
snubbed Liverpool in the summer to stay
with Aston
Villa.
The 31-year-old defender knocked back a £2.5million move to
Anfield and, with the Reds in serious trouble near the foot of the
Premier League, Young is convinced he made the right decision.
The full-back said: 'It was a very difficult decision at the
time because I had to weigh up certain things. But I felt I had
more chance of getting in the first team at Villa.
'I didn't want to go as a back-up and it isn't going great for
them right now. I felt it was better to stay and fight for my
place.
'I was never convinced I was going to Liverpool to play. Glen
Johnson, England's No 1 right-back, is there so I knew I'd end up
watching in the league and play a few games in Europe, maybe.'
