Aston Villa fullback Alex Moreno says a return to Real Betis is in the career plan.

Moreno is in his second season at Villa Park.

He told Relevo: “I don't miss a game. I have the Spanish channels to try to live a little bit on a day-to-day basis. I don't miss a game. Since we always play midday, I have time to watch them afterwards. I follow him, I talk to a lot of people there, from the team.

“I'm always there. I'm looking forward them doing very well, they're fighting to get into the European places and I'm sure that in the final stretch, they'll be able to achieve it with this effort, with this sacrifice they're making."

On Villa manager Unai Emery, he said: “The truth is that he helped me a lot to get my performance. I thank him for all the talks we have had on how to improve in the game. He's very straightforward. He tells you when you're doing it wrong, when you're doing it right, when you need to improve. He's a good coach and the truth is that I admire him a lot for all the treatment I've had with him."

Moreno also said of Betis: “It was very difficult for me because I love Real Betis. I love the fans, I love the city and it was a very difficult decision to make, but I'm sure that one day we will meet again. I know that I will be there in the future. I am very clear about it, and in the end I am sure that we will meet again."
