This is too much for Aston Villa. The English club, currently 9th in the Premier League, did not accept the latest offers made by Jamie Carragher in the podcast Stick to Football. While the topic of discussion raised the possibility of seeing Unai Emery replace Michael Carrick at the helm of Manchester United, the former defender claimed that “Aston Villa will never be Manchester United“. “I’m not trying to annoy Villa fans, but there is a hierarchy in football, like it or not», he continued.

The management of the Villans did not like it and felt offended. She decided to take legal action against the consultant of Sky Sports. “Aston Villa will take legal action against Jamie Carragher for his unacceptable insults towards the Club and its supporters. Aston Villa will not allow anyone to hinder our rise in English and European football. Nassef Sawiris, President.»
