Money matters: Villa defender Young[LNB]Liverpool have failed to land Luke Young after the Aston Villa defender refused to take a £10,000-a-week pay cut. [LNB]The Reds bid £2.75million for Young but the package on offer made no financial sense to the 31-year-old full back. [LNB]Young has three years left to run on his contract at Villa Park and Liverpool's offer, believed to be worth around £37,000 a week, was knocked back. [LNB]Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson was keen to strengthen at the back after Philipp Degen joined Emiliano Insua and Fabio Aurelio in leaving Anfield. [LNB]Hodgson will be disappointed but Villa boss Martin O'Neill is also likely to be frustrated.
