Aston Villa captain John McGinn is enjoying his time under manager Unai Emery.

McGinn, 29, says his game is improving under Emery.

He told the Daily Mail: "He is really, really good at bringing everybody's best qualities to a plan.

"There might be times where I have played up front but our game plan isn't the same as the week before when he had Moussa Diaby up front. He will coach a completely different style and formation in immense detail to suit me being in that position and we will work and work on it.

"I could turn up for training on a Tuesday and he's wanting me to work on being a left winger and I could turn up on the Wednesday and he wants me to work on being a central midfielder. Every detail gets improved. Every detail gets analysed and examined. There's no ceiling. I know I'm getting older but there is no ceiling to what you can learn from him to improve.

"Today, we spent a long time analysing our defeat by Nottingham Forest a few weeks ago. If we go behind in a game, it's about flipping the mentality from dwelling on the opportunity we might be about to lose to being more positive about how to deal with it. Take a deep breath, deal with the noise from the home fans and be confident in our ability to turn it around."
