Unai Emery reveals how Aston Villa disorganised Manchester United
Aston Villa claimed their first home Premier League win over Manchester United since 1995.
Unai Emery enjoyed a dream start to life in the Aston Villa dugout as he guided Aston Villa to a 3-1 victory over Manchester United.
“I was dreaming it, I am so happy,” said the Spaniard.
“I think today the atmosphere was amazing with the supporters and I think we enjoyed it with them.
“I think we have players with energy. We have players with good skills.
“We wanted to be organised, we wanted to be disciplined and I think being together with our game plan the players did it. It was a special game today here.”
Emery’s game plan involved his side keeping possession and breaking the high press of United.
“They (Villa players) had confidence, they had good matches here,” the Villa boss said.
“They played as well against some teams before here – Brentford 4-0, they drew against Manchester City, they played very well against Chelsea.
“My challenge here is to be consistent and to become regular in our way.
“Today I think it was so important against Manchester United after a long time we didn’t win, to do it. We did it but now it’s to keep it consistent in a regular way.
“We are going to play in Manchester on Thursday and Sunday in Brighton and our next challenge is going to be tough because this team didn’t keep the regularity in those matches away.”
