Manchester United are reportedly considering Xavi Hernandez as a potential managerial candidate, with the ex-Barcelona boss ready to join immediately as Ruben Amorim’s tenure comes under further scrutiny.
Speculation is mounting that Xavi Hernandez could take over at Manchester United as pressure intensifies on current manager Ruben Amorim.
Following United’s recent 3-1 defeat to Brentford, reports suggest that club leadership is exploring alternatives in response to a poor start to the season and a current standing of fourteenth in the Premier League table.
The respected Spanish coach, who took a sabbatical after leaving Barcelona, is said to be open to joining United immediately, even in the absence of European football.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Xavi has carefully studied the Premier League and feels prepared to take on the challenge at Old Trafford.
Xavi’s name previously featured among potential candidates for the United role last season, but the former Barcelona manager opted to take a break rather than accept a mid-season proposal.
While United supporters have grown restless with the team’s trajectory under Amorim, sources indicate co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe continues to provide support, allowing Amorim further time to turn fortunes around.
