Jamie Carragher says Unai Emery should be the next Manchester United manager - but thinks they probably won't give him a chance for two key reasons. 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. Manchester United have been impressed by caretaker manager Michael Carrick's work but will assess their options in the summer. 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. In any case, the Manchester United job might not become available.
