Unai Emery optimistic Youri Tielemans can feature for Aston Villa against Manchester United

Napoli wins Serie A title on season’s last day ahead of Inter Milan
<!--> The two players who Antonio Conte wanted more than any others secured Napoli its second Serie A title in three years on Friday.Scott McTominay scored with an acrobatic bicycle kick before halftime and Romelu Lukaku doubled the lead with a solo goal after the break in the decisive 2-0 home win over Cagliari.Conte became the first coach to win the Italian championship with three teams.Napoli needed only to do the same or better than defending champion Inter Milan in the final round of matches, so Inter’s 2-0 win at 10-man Como wasn’t enough for the Nerazzurri.The results meant Napoli finished Serie A one point ahead of Inter.The southern squad’s fourth Serie A title overall capped an impressive turnaround after the Partenopei finished 10th during a dismal title defense last season.Argentina legend Diego Maradona led Napoli to its first two […]
