Villa offer glimpse into future despite friendly loss

Unai Emery won his fifth Europa League title when Aston Villa beat Freiburg in May 'Don't move' was the second-half instruction to Luka Lynch, which needed repeating several times before the 19-year-old winger stopped and then immediately collected the ball.

Striker Brian Madjo also scored twice in Aston Villa's friendly win against Walsall last week This season will see a new version of Aston Villa under Unai Emery.

That also means major outgoings for fringe players like Leon Bailey or Evann Guessand - back in training after the World Cup with the Ivory Cost - are not necessarily expected while Villa are away.
