Unai Emery has been spending some of his ‘downtime’ teaching kids, who have been taken from their parents thanks to Donald Trump’s immigration policies, how to play football.

The DV7 Academy in Queens was set up by David Villa as an ‘oasis’ for the ‘unaccompanied minors’ in New York who have no family to support them thanks to the Trump Administration.

They were reportedly delighted to see Unai Emery turn up last week to offer some coaching advice after the Arsenal coach decided to dedicate part of his vacation to helping out at the Academy.

He spoke to the kids in English, Spanish and French so that they could all understand what he was saying.

“Are you really Emery? I’m from Barça, but I love you as a coach,” two children from Honduras asked according to the report in Marca.

“The initiative has value so that they recover the joy that a child should never lose,” Emery said.
