Juan Mata praises Unai Emery’s management style

Manchester United star Juan Mata has been linked with a move to Arsenal this summer and he’s had some kind words to say about his potential new manager.

The Daily Star claim that Arsenal are ready to sign Mata on a free transfer as a replacement for Aaron Ramsey, who is also out of contract in the summer, when he leaves the Emirates this summer.

Mata knows current Arsenal boss Unai Emery very well as the pair worked together at Valencia and as reported in the Express, he was very impressed with Emery’s managerial skills.

I think what’s special about Unai is the way he communicates.In his talks, he used to write three, four or five things on the board: those were the points he was going to bring up.

Sometimes it was five phrases or metaphors he was going to explain. I’ve never seen that with my other managers. They usually revolved around phrases about positivity, camaraderie, the values he wanted to create in his team.

He communicated by means of the points he had written down.His talks could go on and on because he didn’t notice the time, but what he said was always intense, and he would ask you questions. It became a kind of seminar.

Mata is one of a number if players who could leave Old Trafford on a free transfer this summer and if reports are to be believed, he could find himself with Emery once again, this time at Arsenal.
