There are very few reasons for Unai Emery to leave Aston Villa for Manchester United | Jonathan Wilson
Spaniard may feel some of Old Trafford’s allure when he goes there on Sunday but he is right in wanting to stay at the club with brighter prospects On Sunday afternoon, shortly before 4.30, Unai Emery will leave the tunnel at Old Trafford and walk along the touchline towards the bench.
Key points
- Emery is, after all, in “advanced talks” to extend a contract at Villa that already runs to 2029.
- Will he glance around the grand old stadium – faded and leaking though it may be in parts – and think that he could have a part in restoring the club to former glories?
- He feels the right fit for Villa, and that is arguably the most important factor in determining success.
Will he look at the home bench and imagine himself sitting there – or perhaps more plausibly, scuttling up and down in front of it – as the first Manchester United manager since Sir Alex Ferguson to land a league title?
Additional details
- However frustrating he may find the habitual summer churn, he is good at managing it.
