This week, the battle between Sitting and Manchester City in the UEFA Europa League will not only focus on Ruben Emolian, who will soon be in charge of Manchester United, but also Viana, the manager of Sitting, who will soon be joining Manchester United to stage a "counter-attack". It is rumored that the future director of Manchester City has quietly intervened in the affairs of the "Blue Moon", and originally planned to bring Emolian to Manchester City, but Gordiona intends to coach at Manchester City for one more season, which will lead to Emolian's transfer to Manchester United.
City's current manager, Bigelstein, previously announced that he would be leaving the club at the end of the season, and the team quickly decided to replace him with Viana. Gordiona recently revealed his future plans with City when asked about his contact with Viana: "I haven't gotten in touch with him yet, but I know he's been in close contact with City."
Portuguese media outlet O Jogo further reported that Viana was originally scheduled to replace Gordiona, whose contract expired next season, as the new leader of Manchester United. However, Gordiona decided to stay at City for one more season, while Emolian did not want to wait until 2026 to step into the Premier League, so he eventually opted for a call-up from United.
