During his tenure at Aston Villa, midfielder Morgan Sanson has openly acknowledged encountering difficulties with Steven Gerrard.

Upon returning to the Premier League midway through the previous season, Unai Emery has impressively excelled in his role as the manager of Aston Villa.

Sitting in the fourth position in the Premier League and trailing Liverpool by five points, the Spanish manager has orchestrated a remarkable transformation at the club. Many now consider him the standout candidate for the manager of the season accolade.

Following Steven Gerrard’s dismissal in late October, characterized by six losses in 11 Premier League games, Aston Villa seemed to be in a precarious situation.

Samson has provided insight into the challenges he faced under the English manager, asserting that the situation was ‘unfair.’

“I sensed something was amiss,” he remarked. “I had confidence in my abilities, but certain aspects didn’t align well with a coach at Aston Villa, and it felt somewhat unjust.

“The issue arose when Steven Gerrard took over instead of Unai Emery.”

The 29-year-old is presently on loan at Ligue 1 side Nice, and this arrangement is set to last until the conclusion of the season.

Unai Emery’s team experienced a goalless draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Friday night, necessitating their participation in an FA Cup fourth-round replay in the upcoming weeks.
