According to a report in Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, Unai Emery attended a Segunda Division B game between Real Unión and CD Guijuelo.
The Arsenal head coach returned to his native Basque country seeing as there was no Premier League action this weekend and these supporters have taken the opportunity to have yet another dig at their under-pressure boss.

What do we think?
The general consensus amongst Arsenal fans is that Emery isn’t the right man to restore this famous old club to it’s former glories. However, to suggest the Spanish Segunda Division is his level is somewhat harsh given he’s a man who has won three Europa League title’s amongst other things in his career to date. Arsenal’s disappointing run of late has seen the pressure on Emery reach a level intensity like never before.
As a result, the 49-year-old faces an uphill task to qualify for the UEFA Champions League as well as trying to regain the trust of the supporters. With some of his players currently away on international duty, it appears Emery returned home for a short-break and coincidentally Real Union were hosting a fixture nearby. There’s almost certainly nothing specific in regards to why he may have chosen that particular game other than the geography.
