Villa have ‘winning mentality’ insists Young

ASHLEY YOUNG is backing Aston Villa to put their recent mini-slump behind them as they resume their bid for a Champions League spot.

And the in-form England winger insists the entire Villa squad has a “winning mentality” ahead of tonight’s Barclays Premier League clash with Manchester City at Eastlands.

Villa were riding on the crest of a wave a fortnight ago as they chased glory on three fronts but have now gone five matches without a victory. But Young believes the self-belief of Martin O’Neill’s squad will enable them to get back on track sooner rather than later.
