Unai Emery exit fears resurface after 'source's' reveal away from Aston Villa
Unai Emery's future as Aston Villa manager is always a major talking point, and that noise is only going to get louder.
While the start to the Villans' domestic season has been rocky, sitting 12th in the Premier League table, the Champions League is an entirely different story.
PSG are the only team standing in between Villa and the top of the Champions League table after three matches following a 3-1 win over Viking.
Nicolas Jackson and Ross Barkley are firing on all cylinders, Ibrahim Mbaye looks like a £100million talent, and Zion Suzuki already appears to be a bargain.
After a complete summer overhaul at Villa Park, Emery's side were expected to struggle, but once again, he's defied the odds.
Villa supporters are hardly surprised that the Spaniard has dragged the club upwards again, and his efforts are not going unnoticed elsewhere.
Unai Emery back on Aston Villa's radar
Several clubs across Europe have been interested in Emery's signature at one time or another, including both Manchester clubs, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Barcelona.
While Mick Brown revealed to Football Insider that Man United don't want to sack Michael Carrick, they may have no choice after defeat to Como.
The club legend is under immense pressure at Old Trafford, though most of the fans' anger is aimed at the owners right now.
Possibly in an attempt to keep fans onside, iNews has reported that Man United are keeping tabs on Emery, impressed by his dealing of Villa's current situation.
It is believed, as per sources, that the 54-year-old is committed to his job in the West Midlands, but they question whether anybody can turn down an offer from United?
Aston Villa's alarm bells ringing
Keith Wyness told Football Insider in September that Emery could be tempted to escape Villa's financial restrictions.
He clearly decided to stay put, but that may not last for much longer, as Man United potentially begin the search for a new manager.
Carrick is now the favourite to be the next Premier League manager sacked this season. And undoubtedly, Emery would be top of their list as a replacement.
Villa supporters will always have a voice in the back of their heads when it comes to Emery's future, but those voices could be about to get much louder.
