Unai Emery highlights the most frightening aspect of MU right now

Aston Villa's coach Unai Emery has stated that MU is extremely dangerous when playing away matches in the Premier League this season. This is a major concern for Emery, and he wants his Aston Villa stars to be highly alert if they aim to secure 3 points.

MU has made remarkable improvements compared to the disastrous 2024/25 season, during which they finished 15th in the Premier League without winning any trophies or qualifying for European competitions. The team of Ruben Amorim currently sits 6th in the Premier League standings after 16 matches this season, just 2 points behind Chelsea in 4th place, aiming to secure a spot in the Top 4.

However, it is clear that MU performs better away from home than at Old Trafford. Statistics show they have won 4 out of 8 home games in the Premier League, losing to Arsenal and Everton at Old Trafford in August and November respectively, before drawing with West Ham and Bournemouth in December. These results mean MU ranks higher in the Premier League away table (7th) compared to the home table (11th) so far this season.

This is something that Unai Emery cannot overlook as MU will be visiting Aston Villa in the 17th round of the Premier League. Before facing MU, Villa’s Emery shared his thoughts about the opponent at this time: "The upcoming match will be very challenging for us. MU is a big club, not only because of their history but also due to their efforts to rebuild their image as a top-tier club.

As we all see, MU is playing very, very well on the road. Those matches have been truly impressive. They win games and show excellent form. At home, they face more difficulties compared to away games, but I have great respect for them because of their history, their style of play, and this year I believe the club is progressing more than before.

Currently, MU has very talented players and their attack is performing excellently. At this moment, we are ready. Aston Villa respects them and remains humble, but we are prepared to keep the 3 points at Villa Park.”
