Unai Emery gives his opinion on Arteta ahead of UEL clash

Unai Emery will face his old club Arsenal in the Europa League clash.

The former Arsenal manager who was fired in November 2019 by the club spoke highly of the work Mikel Arteta has done with the club.

Mikel Arteta has seen a number of highs and lows during this spell with the club languishing down in tenth place in the Premier League table.

Unai Emery believes Mikel Arteta and Arsenal to be the perfect marriage and claims a positive outcome can be expected after an array of dissapointment.

“Arteta is putting his own stamp on things – in the way they play, it’s easy to identify he’s bringing back that Arsenal tradition of playing attractive football,” Emery said.

“His first steps as Pep Guardiola’s assistant have helped him to position himself in this new profession which is being the manager. Now he has been given this opportunity at Arsenal, and I think it’s a good place to develop because he is much loved by Arsenal thanks to the time he spent in the team.

“He had his time [playing] there with Arsene Wenger so I’m sure he can apply everything he learned. I think it’s a good marriage: Arteta-Arsenal, Arsenal-Arteta.”
