#AVFC's powder puff attack directly contributed to defensive errors at Old Trafford. Playing too quickly or rashly exposes Villa. They gave Man Utd the exact thing Emery repeatedly warned against - transitions. They want control but quality is missing: https://www.nytimes.com/at

Unai Emery on Leon Bailey frustration: "Just before, he did a good action for Abraham. There were two players with Morgan Rogers. I was trying to get him to stop and get passes to get positioning in attack. Why? We planned before that United's transition is fantastic." #AVFC

Emery: "We did things good, but it was not enough. We are recovering confidence and working on some things in our structure. "Today, the result was in my expectation. They are in a good moment and they played an intelligent match. But we did compete and we can feel better." #AVF

Unai Emery: "Still in our hands. When we were in a very good run we were so confident and it was difficult to lose. Now we are in a bad moment and we have to keep the balance. We have to do more and show more capacity to beat Man United. We competed well, but not enough." #AVFC

Unai Emery: "I'm positive because we're working and the players are aware how we want to keep our position. Lots of matches to play. I want to play. I don't want the season to finish. We're very motivated. We played fantastic on Thursday and I like the challenges we have." #AVFC

Asked Emery about #AVFC the second goal. Says his frustration with Bailey was because United had players back, so he wanted him to make more safe passes, keep the ball and not force an attack at the risk of being broken on, basically waiting for team-mates for control

Casemiro is leaving Manchester United in the summer - and for a while, that seemed like the right decision. But his all-round display against Aston Villa, where he contributed so much more than his goal, shows that Manchester United will have their work cut out to replace him.
