John McGinn believes Villa pulled off a masterstroke by securing Unai Emery on a long-term contract after the boss was linked with Bayern Munich.
Reports in Germany claim Emery is a target for the Bavarian giants and their former captain, Lothar Matthaus, has publicly urged them to appoint the Spaniard as Thomas Tuchel’s successor.
McGinn said:"I'm still a bit wounded. I said hello to Lothar Matthaus in a lift in Dubai an he completely ignored me. That wasn't that good. Villa can extend the gap further when they host Chelsea on Saturday night and skipper McGinn said:"We all knew how important Sunday was. Now we have a nice gap, although Tottenham have two games in hand but we would certainly rather have the points than the games.
