Emery continues to work miracles at Aston Villa, who sit fourth in the Premier League and are hoping to qualify for the Champions League for the second time in three seasons.

If, like United, you are dreaming big to win the Premier League and Champions League in the next five years, Emery’s record at Arsenal and Paris St-Germain is a red flag.
