James Milner's £30m move to Manchester City on hold as Aston Villa won't budge on price

Villa 3 Feyenoord 1 James Milner's relationship with Martin O'Neill came under further scrutiny after the Manchester City target failed to feature in Villa's win over Feyenoord.Despite a move to City being no closer, the England star had to watch from the sidelines in Portugal after being left out of O'Neill's squad for the Guadiana Cup clash. Villan of the piece: Milner is wants Eastlands switch sortedTransfer talks between the two clubs remain deadlocked with Villa valuing the 24-year-old at £30m, while City's only bid to date is £20m. O'Neill's decision to omit him leaves further question marks over relations between the pair after Milner was upset by the Villa manager's claim the player had "intimated" he wanted to leave. Although the new campaign is less than a fortnight away, he is yet to kick a ball for Villa in pre-season. Milner was involved in Villa's pre-match warm-up, however, and he received a subdued reception from the 500 Villa supporters in the Algarve. Luke Young, who this week rejected a move to Liverpool, was another notable absentee with the wantaway defender sat alongside Milner in the dugout - at the opposite end to O'Neill, who is yet to spend this summer after being told he must sell to buy. Marc Albrighton has been the star of Villa's pre-season and he took just five minutes to give them the lead with a 25-yard rocket. Feyenoord levelled nine minutes later, however, when Luc Castaignos lashed in from close range amid Villa appeals for offside. Stewart Downing spurned a golden chance when he raced through, while Georginio Wijnaldum hit the woodwork just before the break for the Dutch giants. The excellent Albrighton crossed for Emile Heskey to head home after 73 minutes before fellow substitute Steve Sidwell made sure with a screamer six minutes later.
