Man United and Real Madrid Monitor Aston Villa Manager Unai Emery

Villa point to his 2029 contract to play down talk of a move.

Overview

  • Reports say intermediaries have promoted Emery’s availability to top clubs, prompting interest from Manchester United and Real Madrid.
  • Manchester United’s INEOS-led search lists Emery among several options after other high-profile targets committed to their current jobs.
  • Real Madrid are tracking Emery as they review choices following Xabi Alonso’s exit and a rough interim spell under Alvaro Arbeloa.
  • Aston Villa say they are confident of keeping Emery given his long contract and the team’s progress, and no formal approaches have been confirmed.
  • Emery’s appeal rests on recent success with Villa and a record of four Europa League titles, which signals proven results in European competition.
