Unai Emery began his tenure as Aston Villa boss earlier this month and he already has a few transfer targets in mind, one of which could affect Manchester United.
Emery had a fine run at Villarreal, spurring them on to a Europa League win in 2021 where they beat Manchester United in the final and he could land another blow in the transfer market.
In his time there, he developed several stars, some of which have gone on to play for their international sides in recent times and he is looking to bring them to Villa Park with him.
