Unai Emery has been linked with Manchester United as pressure mounts on Ruben Amorim after a nightmare start to the season.
The Red Devils are 11th in the Premier League, suffering their worst opening since 1992/93, alongside an embarrassing League Cup defeat.
Last season was equally grim, with United finishing 15th and missing out on European football for the first time in a decade, reports Mirror.
Amorim’s job is on the line, and pundits suggest United could turn to Emery, who remains admired for his managerial expertise.
Former Aston Villa striker Stan Collymore claims United will soon “sniff around” Emery, especially after shock developments at Villa Park this week.
Monchi Exit Fuels Emery Speculation
Emery’s close ally Monchi departed Villa as President of Football Operations, sparking doubts about the Spaniard’s long-term future in Birmingham.
Collymore believes the sudden exit could tempt Emery to listen if United approached, with speculation mounting following Villa’s rocky campaign start.

During Erik ten Hag’s struggles last season, Emery was reportedly considered by Old Trafford chiefs as a possible replacement for the Dutchman.
His work at Villa has been widely praised, guiding them back into Europe and improving performances despite challenges in the transfer market.
With Amorim under huge pressure, Emery’s proven record in England and Europe makes him a strong candidate if change arrives at United.
