Jamie Carragher: You can make an argument that Unai Emery is the third best manager in this Premier League. If you back over the last 12 months since he came in at Villa, if you are talking about Man Utd, Aston Villa are a better coached team than United. There is no doubt about that.
Yeh but they don’t need that from him yet, for what they’ll be wanting he’s about as good as there is. Europa League is probably his level. He won it 3 years in a row, which, considering that a win puts you in the champions league, and only an exit at the group stages of the champions league puts you back into the europa league, it isn’t the best stat in the world if you’re a team who wants to do well in the champions league, but for Villa right now, success in the europa league would be amazing.
