Stephen Warnock has cast doubt on his future at Aston Villa, with the defender admitting he will sit down and discuss his options with new manager Alex McLeish.

Former Blackburn man Warnock made a bright start to his Villa career and featured in England squads, with Fabio Capello taking him to the World Cup finals in 2010.

However, he slipped out of favour at Villa Park under Gerard Houllier last season and was expected to move on.

It is all change at Villa, with McLeish taking over at Villa Park this week and Warnock will look to gauge whether he has a future under the former Birmingham manager.

"We will need to wait and see," Warnock told Sky Sports News. "I will need to sit down with the manager and see what the future holds.

"Last season was difficult for me, it was a tough time. Things need sorting out and I will sit down with the manager to see what the future holds.

"It is a tough decision as I felt last year was not great."
