Harvey Elliott left Liverpool during the summer in search of increased playing time but has struggled since agreeing a loan move to Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

Unai Emery\u2019s side lost 2-0 to Liverpool<\/a> last time out and have endured a difficult start to the Premier League<\/a> season so far despite a recent run of good form.<\/p>\n

Villa are 11th in the league table as things stand, with four wins from ten games and concerns lingering after what was a shocking start at Villa Park.<\/p>\n

Despite those struggles, Elliott<\/a> has failed to make an impact on the manager\u2019s plans and remains on the fringes of the squad despite initial high hopes for his loan spell.<\/p>\n

Elliott was dropped out of the squad against Man City<\/a>, meaning the 22-year-old has not played a single minute of the Midlands side\u2019s last four games across all competitions.<\/p>\n

Football Insider revealed on 28 October that Elliott will struggle to return to Emery\u2019s plans<\/a> given the strength of the rivals for his position.<\/p>\n

This is now becoming a concern for Liverpool, who had expected him to make a permanent move to Villa Park but could now be set to welcome him back to Anfield.<\/p>\n

That is according to former Aston Villa and Man United senior scout Mick Brown<\/a>, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider that the England Under-21 international is having a difficult time at Villa.<\/p>\n

\u201cHarvey Elliott is in a difficult situation at Aston Villa,\u201d he told Football Insider.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not playing at the moment, he hasn\u2019t impressed at all since going there.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s gone to Villa on loan with a view to that move becoming permanent, and that\u2019s what Liverpool will have been expecting to happen, but now that might not be the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been some talk that the manager is not happy with how he\u2019s been playing and training, and that\u2019s why he\u2019s been left out a few times recently.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s going to be a massive concern, not just for Villa and for the player, but for Liverpool as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the issue he has is that he\u2019s not a winger, but he\u2019s not an out and out midfielder, so it\u2019s difficult to fit him into a team, and I don\u2019t think Villa were the right club for him based on that.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe can play in both of those positions, of course, but if Villa needed a wide man, he\u2019s not what they need, and if they needed a midfielder, he\u2019s not really that either.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat he needs at the moment is to be playing regularly, but that\u2019s not happening, and it\u2019s a shame because I thought he was better than that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Villa have a \u00a335million obligation to buy Elliott<\/a>, which will be triggered after he makes 10 appearances, but he has featured just five times before dropping out of the squad.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa also concerned about Jadon Sancho<\/p>\n

Elliott was not the only big-name player to arrive at Villa Park on loan during the summer, with Jadon Sancho<\/a> making the short-term switch from Man United.<\/p>\n

However, the winger has made just six appearances across all competitions so far and started just two games, leading to concerns at Villa Park.<\/p>\n

Football Insider revealed on 3 November that Sancho cannot return to Man United in January<\/a> as there is no break clause in his contract with Villa.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Football Insider\u00a0that\u00a0Aston Villa will only sign Sancho on a permanent basis<\/a>\u00a0if he hits the ground running at the club, with that deal now unlikely.<\/p>\n

As a result, Man United could be set to lose the England international on a free transfer with his contract at Old Trafford set to expire at the end of the season.<\/p>\n
