He said: “I spoke to the boss this week.
“We will have a quick sit down after the game and hopefully we can talk about us having won three points.
“We beat United in the league this season although lost there in the League Cup.
“I got a really nice reception when going back there which meant a lot. I had a fantastic time there.”
As for United under Erik ten Hag, Young said: “They are a lot better.
“It will take more than one season to get it sorted but success is coming back — although hopefully not against Villa.”
Villa travel to United unbeaten in ten and sit six points adrift of tomorrow’s hosts, but have played two games more.
