Erik ten Hag is facing substantial pressure at Manchester United due to a sluggish start to the 2023-2024 season. The team currently occupies the eighth position in the Premier League standings after a recent defeat in the Manchester derby.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa is flourishing under Unai Emery’s leadership and is positioned fifth in the Premier League, just four points behind the league leaders, Tottenham Hotspur.
When asked whether Emery might be lured away from Aston Villa to join Manchester United, Bent expressed his doubts on talkSPORT: “He wouldn’t leave Aston Villa now. He wouldn’t. Not with that mess that’s going on at Manchester United. He is not leaving. No chance. At the moment, he’s at a stable football club that is heading in the right direction.”

Bent emphasized the contrasting stability between the two clubs: “I don’t know what’s going on at Manchester United. Listen, Manchester United is a bigger club; I have no doubts about that. But right now, Aston Villa is in a more stable position and looks better than Manchester United.”
He further illustrated his point, saying, “Do you think Eddie Howe would leave Newcastle to go to Manchester United? Absolutely not.”
