Unai Emery came away from Old Trafford feeling unhappy after Aston Villa threw away a two-goal lead twice against Manchester United.

Neutrals were treated to an eight-goal thriller, but it was another evening of ups and downs as far as Manchester United fans are concerned. The Reds extended their winless run in the Premier League to eight matches as the pressure continues to mount on Michael Carrick.

Unai Emery hits out after Aston Villa draw at Old Trafford

Emery was left unimpressed by the drama that unfolded at Old Trafford on Sunday. The match went back and forth, ending in a draw with United sitting in the relegation zone.

The Spaniard can be excused for his bitter remarks because I don’t think any manager is going to respond well to drawing a game after holding a two-goal lead not once but twice. He made his feelings known during his post-match press conference.

“They score in minute 96; the referee added six minutes. I thought the game was done,” Emery said.

“Angry? Of course. How is to accept [sic] to lose in the last minute with two balls. Is difficult. The corner is adaptation to the Premier League with Suzuki, the pushing.”

It’s a bizarre one for Emery to take issue with United scoring in the sixth minute of stoppage time, after six minutes were added on. I don’t think he thought about that one before saying it.

As for the pushing inside the box and Zion Suzuki’s struggles with high balls, the Japanese goalkeeper was dropping high balls even when he wasn’t being contested. It was a weakness for the visitors. United eventually exposed that.
