  "summary": "Jamie Carragher has apologised to Aston Villa, the club's owners, and their fans for using \"clumsy and wrong\" language. The apology followed comments made by the pundit on the Stick to Football podcast, where he suggested manager Unai Emery would want the opportunity to manage a \"giant\" club and stated, \"Aston Villa will never be Manchester United.\" According to Adom Online, Carragher also told the club's fans to shut up.\n\nAston Villa chairman Nassef Sawiris announced that the club intends to initiate legal action against Carragher for what were described as \"unacceptable insults.\" In a statement reported by Malay Mail, Sawiris said the club would not allow anyone to stop its ascension in English and European football.\n\nCarragher posted on social media that his comments were intended to be \"tongue in cheek\" but acknowledged they may not have been received that way. Adom Online notes that the controversy arose while discussing Emery in relation to the Manchester United managerial position, which is currently uncertain following a poor start to the season under Michael Carrick.",
