So… first things first. A lot to digest here.
Option A: Man Utd sign both
Option B: Man Utd sign Lemmens and leave Emi
Option C: Lemmens falls through at the last minute.
Option D: This was all agent speak to get Emi an improved contract at Villa.
I think B is looking most likely.
I’m wondering how much of the Man Utd twerking was actually agent speak. We know he was seen at the kids football match yesterday and may have made some comments about leaving. However, there’s not really been any advances on that.
I suspect Emi’s behaviour will have left a really sour taste in the mouths of the players that do want to be here. And it could have divided the changing room even more, especially in light of Ramsay leaving.
Do we assume that Emi is a victim of agents pushing agendas? Or if he actually did want to leave (Fabrizio Wrongmano said he really wanted to leave!)? And how on earth he builds himself back into the squad from here on in? Whether it was him or not, agent driven or not, it’s hard to see him coming back in straight away. In fact it’s hard to see how he can rebuild a relationship with the team, let alone the fans.
Messy. Very messy.
