Man United urged to sack Michael Carrick and hire Premier League manager Klopp called ‘world-class’

Unai Emery’s Aston Villa record makes him an intriguing option

The Spaniard has transformed Aston Villa since arriving at the club, helping establish them as regular European contenders and building a side capable of competing against some of England’s strongest teams.

He also won the Europa League with Villa last season, his fifth Europa League trophy of his careeer.

Jurgen Klopp has described Emery as a “world-class” coach, highlighting the Spaniard’s tactical approach and attention to detail.

Whether Emery would actually consider leaving his Villa project for Manchester United is a separate question, but Cundy has made his position clear: he believes Ratcliffe should make the move immediately rather than wait until Christmas.
