Dunne backs Young for World Cup
Richard Dunne believes Aston Villa team-mate Ashley Young will make it into England's World Cup squad.
The winger was omitted by coach Fabio Capello for the final World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Belarus.
But Dunne is confident Young will get back into the reckoning and he helped his cause by setting up both goals in Villa's 2-1 win over Chelsea on Saturday.
"I can see Ashley getting back in the England squad. By the time the World Cup comes around in June, he will be in the squad, himself and Gabby [Agbonlahor]," he said.
"It is a big squad, the England squad, and it is a tough one to get into to but those two have definitely got the ability to get in it.
"As a defender, I know from previous seasons when trying to defend the kind of balls that Ashley puts into the box, that it is very difficult to deal with.
"The ball is constantly landing in the right areas and, if people are moving around in there, it is so difficult to defend against.
"Ashley should also take heart from Gabby being left out of the previous England squads and then coming back in for the last one.
"The two lads, they know themselves - and the manager (Martin O'Neill) tells them - how good they are.
"It is one of those situations you don't have any influence over. The (England) manager picks you or he doesn't.
"The two lads, as much as they love playing for England, are enjoying their time at Villa but, whatever comes success-wise at Villa, hopefully it will put them in the England squad."
