Young breaks 'Big Four' dominance

Last updated : 28 April 2008 By Tom Vickers
Ashley Young was rewarded for a fine campaign by being named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year.
Young lines up alongside Steven Gerrard, Cesc Fabregas and Player of the Year winner Cristiano Ronaldo in a fantastic midfield four.
The only player in the team, apart from Young, that doesn't play for a top four side is super stopper David James of Portsmouth.
James was in fine form against the Villa this season helping Pompey to an unprecedented league double.
Young's achievements could be furthered when the Villa player of the Year is named in the not too distant future.
He faces stiff competition from skipper Gareth Barry and rock solid centre back Martin Laursen, but is still likely to be favourite for the gong.
The winger must now focus on continuing his fine form against Wigan and West Ham as the Claret and Blue strive for fifth place.
