Ex-PL boss Rafa Benitez sends blunt message to Unai Emery over Man United job
Story updated
The story in brief
5-second readRafa Benitez has sent a clear message to his compatriot Unai Emery over potentially replacing Michael Carrick at Manchester United.
From the source
Former Liverpool, Chelsea, Newcastle United and Everton manager Rafa Benitez has advised Aston Villa’s Unai Emery on what he should do if Manchester United approach him.
Despite orchestrating a remarkable comeback against AS Roma earlier this week, Carrick’s future at United remains uncertain. United’s poor start to the season currently sees them in seventeenth place in both the Premier League and Champions League standings.
The Red Devils are just two points above the relegation zone as they head into this weekend’s meeting with Aston Villa. Following the 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth at Old Trafford, Carrick’s fate appeared to be sealed.
