Former England defender Jamie Carragher has issued an apology to Aston Villa and their fans for using "clumsy and wrong" language when discussing manager Unai Emery's potential move to Manchester United. The apology came after Villa declared they would take legal action against the defender over "unacceptable insults" made on the Stick to Football podcast.
The club's statement, signed by chairman Nassef Sawiris, referred to Carragher's comments about Emery wanting to manage a "giant" club and Villa's inability to match Manchester United. Carragher clarified on social media that his remarks were meant to be "tongue in cheek", and expressed regret for the language he used this week, although he maintained it was in jest.
