Earlier report
Aston Villa say they will initiate legal action against Jamie Carragher over what the club branded as "unacceptable insults". Posting on their social media on Friday, Villa released a statement signed by their chairman Nassef Sawiris accusing Carragher of insulting the Premier League side and its fans. It added the club would "not allow anyone to stop our ascension in English and European football". Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, Carragher attracted criticism from Villa fans by suggesting their manager Unai Emery would be interested in becoming Manchester United's head coach. Michael Carrick's position at United is hanging in the balance after a dismal start to the campaign and Carragher said "Aston Villa will never be Manchester United".Read original report ↗
