In danger of becoming a forgotten star after his rise to stardom at Real Madrid and move to Paris Saint-Germain, Asensio must be desperate to steal the headlines once again and complete a January switch to Aston Villa. Only rare instances have Emery struggled to impress, and only a few have not gone on to make an impressive impact at Villa Park. Now, Asensio could become the next beneficiary.
Despite his current struggles under Luis Enrique, the right winger once found himself at the center of the manager's praise during his time coaching the Spanish national team.
Enrique He told reporters via Madrid Universal in 2022: “We worked with him on the things we wanted him to improve and he did just that. When he plays as a '9' the pressure starts and that requires a lot of effort and responsibility.”
“It's a pleasure to see how our six forwards press, they give us guarantees. Marco is the guarantee and he is in great form ahead of the World Cup.”
Just three years after his Ligue 1 debut under the Spaniard at Paris Saint-Germain, Asensio is no longer a player in Enrique's thoughts and must move on in 2025.
