MacDonald expects bids for Villa stars

Kevin MacDonald says Aston Villa have not received any enquiries for Ashley Young or any other player - but he expects that to change. MacDonald expects some of the club's best players to be the target of Premier League predators following their failure to qualify for the Europa League.Tottenham are reported to be lining up a big-money offer for Ashley Young after securing their place in the Champions League group stages but MacDonald believes the Villa hierarchy may be unwilling to sell.He said: "I am sure clubs will be interested in players because there are some good players at Aston Villa."You'd expect not being in Europe to be a factor but you'd expect it from the clubs that are playing in Europe in that they might want an extra big player."We've had not anything (enquiries) as such. People would have told me if there were any enquiries. We've had nothing so far."But in terms of convincing players to stay, it might not be their choice."If the club needs them, and they are under contract, the club will probably want to keep them."
