Talks Ongoing To Extend My Stay At Aston Villa – Unai Emery

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has confirmed talks over a new contract. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

Stressing he already had a very positive meeting with chairman Nassef Sawiris, Emery stated that more discussions have been scheduled for next week.

Despite being linked with Manchester United, who Villa face on Sunday after Tuesday’s 3-0 Champions League defeat to Barcelona, the Spaniard added that his ambition is to keep growing a stronger project at Villa Park.

His words, “My ambition is to keep our consistency and how we are improving and building lots of things positively. It is a huge challenge.

They decided, speaking with us last year, to build a new stand to add more supporters at Villa Park. That is a clear step forward to get better.

How we are increasing our budget each year, and revenue through our performance by playing in Europe and improving players, selling players, then buying young talented players, this is the process and ambition we should keep in the future. I had a good meeting with Nassef Sawiris, very good meeting, very positive.

Let’s talk next week, trying to get everything we spoke about together. We were speaking about how we can set our project stronger with a deal, yes.”

On the clash against MUFC, “We did not win one match there in four years.

This year they are playing well in the Champions League. They have not been consistent in the league, but they should recover it, but hopefully not against us.

We lost to Barcelona because of the level we faced; this is the highest level in the Champions League. Man United is at the same level as Barcelona.”
