Assistant manager Gary McAllister insists Aston Villa want to keep
hold of Ashley Young, and the England international was not "waving
goodbye" to the fans during the final Premier League game of the
season.
Young was replaced towards the end of Sunday's 1-0 win over Liverpool
and waved to all four sides of Villa Park on leaving the pitch.
"I think people thought that was staged but his calf was screaming,"
said McAllister regarding Young's substitution.
"He wasn't coming off waving goodbye because we want to keep him.
"We have to keep trying and a couple of signings here or there might help.
"I am sure there is interest because there has been a lot of
speculation around Ashley for a long time now.
"Until such a time that someone comes in with a bid which is
acceptable to Aston Villa then he is still a Villa player because he
has a year left on his contract.
"But there is no way of me predicting how clubs will do their business."
