Goalkeeper Scott Carson has revealed he still has no idea whether he will return to Villa Park next season.

Manager Martin O'Neill is believed to be keen to hang on to the 22-year-old England international, who spent the season on loan from Liverpool, but it's unclear whether that would be on a permanent basis.

But Carson believes the future is bright at the club, with or without him, and he told the Birmingham Mail: "I don't know what's going to happen, but hopefully the team do well.

"You only have to look at the squad, there are a lot of young players there and even the younger ones coming through are very talented.

"Hopefully the manager will keep adding to it and developing it so the team can push on to the next step."
