Young ignoring contract issue

Young will have only 12 months left of his contract when the season ends and is being strongly linked with a move to Manchester United.

Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City are also believed to be interested in the 25-year-old.

But Young has been at pains to insist he will make no decision until the end of the campaign and he has maintained his impressive form despite the speculation.

Young said: "I've always said that I'm going to speak to the manager (Gerard Houllier) and the chairman (Randy Lerner) in the summer.

"I'm fully committed to the club and you can see that by the performance I put in against West Ham on Saturday. I'm just concentrating 100% on my football and we will speak at the end of the season."
