DANGEROUS MESSAGE: Unai Emery has finally delivered a message to Bayern Munich.
When asked about Matthaus’ comments, McGinn replied: “I’m still a little wounded. I say hello to Lothar Matthaus in Dubai, and he completely pied me! I was in the lift with him and said hello. And he totally disregarded me. That wasn’t very good.
“He [Emery] is going to be associated with teams, but I hope he is content here. We enjoy having him and his crew here, and we hope they will stay for many years. He went on to say, “He can do what he wants and that’s it.”
John McGinn concedes that Unai Emery’s performance at Aston Villa will certainly attract admirers from other clubs, but the club captain is confident that his boss will remain at Villa Park for many years.
Villa have made great progress under Emery since his appointment in November 2022. The club qualified for Europe last season and is currently aiming for a top-four finish and the Europa Conference League title.
Villa has structured its football department around Emery, who has a long and lucrative deal.
According to German publication Bild, Bayern Munich is interested in Emery, with Lothar Matthaus stating, “I would get Unai Emery from Aston Villa. He’s doing an excellent job there. He has extensive worldwide experience.
