Journalist Guillem Balague believes Unai Emery would be a perfect fit for Manchester United. However, the Spanish manager is better off staying at Aston Villa.
Manchester United are actively seeking a new manager following a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Como in the Champions League, putting Michael Carrick's position under considerable scrutiny.
Fabian Hurzeler is reportedly uninterested in the role, while Julian Nagelsmann remains on the shortlist. Emery had already been in discussions with the United hierarchy before Carrick's appointment.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Balague noted that convincing the 54-year-old Spaniard to leave Villa Park would be no easy task.
He is where he wants to be. He’s valued there, given everything he needs, including co-ownership of Real Unión. He’s been entrusted with a huge responsibility to take the team as far as he wants.
Aston Villa recently secured a 3-1 victory over Viking in the Champions League, with Balague praising the tactical clarity of Emery's side.
They know exactly what to do when they step onto the pitch... they could play with their eyes closed.
Emery had his doubts about the club's prospects over the summer due to the departures of key players. However, he is now brimming with energy.
Could he do that job at Manchester United? Absolutely. Over the summer, he thought: 'That's it... Why is Tielemans leaving? Is Watkins definitely going?' Then he decided: 'Alright, let's start afresh.' Now he’s thrilled about the youngsters joining him.
Aston Villa currently sit second in the Champions League table, boasting three consecutive victories under Emery.
