Emery Says Manchester United Pose Barcelona-Level Threat Ahead of Villa Clash
Unai Emery has warned Aston Villa not to underestimate Manchester United ahead of Sunday’s Premier League match at Old Trafford. Despite United’s poor league position, the Villa manager said they pose a challenge on the same level as Barcelona and pointed to the club’s recent Champions League experience as evidence of their quality. Villa come into the match after a 3-0 defeat to Barcelona. Emery also highlighted his side’s record at Old Trafford, where Villa have not won since September 2021, and recalled difficult defeats there, including a 3-2 loss in December 2023. United, meanwhile, are looking to build on a dramatic Champions League comeback win over Roma that ended a nine-game winless run. Emery said Villa must perform at their best, individually and collectively, to meet the challenge.
