No comment from Hodgson over Young move

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has refused to comment on reports he has made a bid for Aston Villa's Luke Young. Villa manager Martin O'Neill has revealed the defender is considering an approach from an unnamed club and sources close to Villa Park have indicated the offer has come from Anfield, but Hodgson would not be drawn when questioned at a press conference for tomorrow's Europa League qualifier against FK Rabotnicki. Hodgson did speak at length about the game in Macedonia - his first competitive fixture since taking charge - but appeared agitated when the subject changed to other matters. When asked about Young and on rumours linking winger Maxi Rodriguez with a return to Espanyol, the 62-year-old said: "They are not playing." Hodgson was also unhappy when asked if reports that Emiliano Insua's proposed move to Fiorentina had hit a snag were true. "No information to be given about that," he said.
