Unai Emery
Aston Villa’s manager, Unai Emery, has expressed his feelings about the recent managerial changes at Manchester United, following Erik ten Hag’s dismissal and the appointment of Ruben Amorim. Despite the changes, Villa remains focused on their goals for the season, aiming for a top-four finish as they prepare to face Tottenham this weekend.
Unai Emery said, “Firstly, when I arrived here my first message to the players was that I was sad, because when a coach gets sacked it’s not good. It is the same at United with Ten Hag. It is not good news but it is football. We have to accept it as coaches when things happen like that. I know something about Ruben Amorim because we played sometimes. He has done great work in Portugal with Sporting and if United decided to appoint him, it is because he deserves it.”
Villa previously competed strongly against United, securing a goalless draw just before the October international break following their historic victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League. With Emery focusing on their performance against top-tier teams like Spurs this weekend, Villa hopes to extend their point advantage over United, depending on the outcomes of each team’s next fixtures against Chelsea and Tottenham, respectively.
