Houllier was named as new Villa boss following Martin O’Neill’s exit earlier this summer.
“You look at his history and how well he has done as a manager and he can only bring success here,” Young said, according to The Mirror.
“Moving the club forward is what we want and we can’t wait to work with the boss.
“Last year, we suffered disappointment in both cups, but fingers-crossed it will be different this time. We want to win trophies at Villa.”
