From the source
Manchester United reportedly have Unai Emery as one of five main candidates on their list of potential replacements for Michael Carrick. However, there could be issues with Emery and the set-up at Man Utd that mean the Aston Villa manager is unlikely to be keen to take the job at Old Trafford.
That’s according to a report from the Daily Mail, which states that Emery likes to have a lot of power as manager, meaning some say over the sporting directors he’s working with.
The Spanish tactician is unlikely to get that at United, where there is a clear structure already in place that gives a lot of influence to hands-on owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and figures below him like Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox.
