Ashley Young: O'Neill the key to my progress
Table of Contents
Aston Villa winger Ashley Young believes boss Martin O'Neill deserves much of the credit for the progress he has made.
The 23-year-old was a highly-rated youngster when he joined Villa from Watford in January 2007 for nearly £10 million.
Since then, he has flourished under O'Neill and is now regarded as one of the finest wingers in the Premier League. Last season he was second only to Cesc FÃ bregas in the assists charts in the league.
"My belief has improved under the manager. He installs that confidence in you," Young told the club's official website.
"He gives you the desire to go out there and try and do well and impress. As a winger, he gives you freedom to go and attack. That's fantastic.
"My self-belief has improved so much under him. Since I have been at Villa I have won Player of the Month a few times and I have gained international recognition.
"I was in the team of the season too - that's all down to him.
"His man-management skills are spot on. All players are different and he realises that."
