Unai Emery spoke to the media on Friday ahead of Aston Villa’s weekend trip to Hull City.
There is excitement ahead of the Premier League fixture as Emery’s new-look side, equipped with 10 new summer signings, begins to really take shape. The Villa head coach confirmed the late arrivals of Ibrahim Mbaye and Taylor Harwood-Bellis should be options on Humberside.
That’s despite the latter being omitted from Villa’s Champions League squad along with Brian Madjo and Modou Keba Cisse. Emery was asked about the trio and also whether Johan Manzambi will be fit to face Hull on Saturday.
Here are the best bits from the Spaniard in Friday’s press conference.
