Spaniard may feel some of Old Trafford’s allure when he goes there on Sunday but he is right in wanting to stay at the club with brighter prospectsOn Sunday afternoon, shortly before 4.30, Unai Emery will leave the tunnel at Old Trafford and walk along the touchline towards the bench. Will he glance around the grand old stadium – faded and leaking though it may be in parts – and think that he could have a part in restoring the club to former glories? Will he look at the home bench and imagine himself sitting there – or perhaps more plausibly, scuttling up and down in front of it – as the first Manchester United manager since Sir Alex Ferguson to land a league title?Perhaps not. Emery is, after all, in “advanced talks” to extend a contract at Villa that already runs to 2029. However frustrating he may find the habitual summer churn, he is good at managing it. He feels the right fit for Villa, and that is arguably the most important factor in determining success. Yet all elite managers share a robust self-belief and there is a paradoxical sense that the worse the situation gets at United, the more appealing the job becomes. Continue reading...

Wait long enough and results will come to reflect performances. Manchester City may have won their first seven league games of the season but they always looked vulnerable, and now have lost three in a row. Nottingham Forest may have been second bottom but, other than the twin curses of missing chances and giving away daft goals, they seemed to be playing reasonably well. Put the two together and the outcome was a dramatic regression to the mean. It turns out the stats were right, after all.Liam Delap scored twice to remind people just what a good striker he can be. Oliver Glasner, after last week’s anger, can breathe a little easier in his job. And Enzo Maresca remains a paradox, a manager obsessive about control whose teams always seem oddly susceptible to direct running. Continue reading...

As most Arsenal supporters would testify, patience is a virtue. They needed plenty during the 22-year wait to be crowned Premier League champions and Mikel Arteta’s side certainly had to retain their composure as they tried to break down a dogged Hull side. They had not beaten Arsenal in 14 attempts since winning on their first visit to this ground in 2008. But with 20 minutes to play, there was still every chance that Sergej Jakirovic’s team could have pulled off one of the shocks of the season.Arsenal had already been denied a penalty just before half-time for a shirt pull on Kai Havertz in the box a week after escaping the same crime against Liverpool at Anfield, in a moment of controversy that could have been the major talking point from this match. Martin Ødegaard had other ideas and the Arsenal captain’s fifth goal of the season was enough to ensure they will go into the international break with a healthy lead over Manchester City. Enzo Maresca’s side are up next here in the league after the international break, with Arsenal having matched their record tally of 27 points from their opening 10 games. The signs look ominous for the rest, even if they were made to work for the points throughout by their opponents. Continue reading...
