Rumour · This claim is unconfirmed.
From the source
Unai Emery is reportedly close to agreeing a new long-term contract with Aston Villa, putting to bed any talk of Villa’s manager leaving the club.
Emery’s current deal runs until 2029, and there had been speculation linking Manchester United – Villa’s opponents this weekend – with a move for the Spaniard in the event they parted ways with current manager Michael Carrick.
But it seems Emery will commit his future to Villa, where he has enjoyed a massively successful four years, including two qualifications for the Champions League and a Europa League title, which was the club’s first major trophy in 30 years.
