Aston Villa have a new man in charge and it's one that Manchester United know very well. Old foe Unai Emery has taken the hot seat and that's certainly not music to their ears.
Villa sacked Steven Gerrard - after the comprehensive 3-0 battering handed out by Fulham last week made it six defeats in 11 games - less than a year since he left Rangers to take the job. The Midlands club have wasted little time in hiring his replacement and just three days later have managed to prise Emery away from Villarreal.
It marks Emery's return to England three years on from leaving Arsenal and he has enjoyed considerable success at Villarreal in that time. Most notably, of course, he led the Yellow Submarine to an unlikely Europa League triumph in 2021, beating none other than United in the final in a nail-biting penalty shoot-out.
