Manchester United considering Xavi Hernandez as replacement for Erik ten Hag

Manchester United are reportedly looking at former Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez as a possible replacement for current manager Erik ten Hag. The Dutch manager is under pressure due to poor results, and his position is becoming more uncertain.

Xavi as Manchester United’s Top Target

Xavi, who is currently without a team after leaving Barcelona, has become Manchester United’s main target. The club’s leaders are considering new options for the manager role as Ten Hag struggles to improve the team’s performance.

Xavi’s Appeal to Manchester United

Xavi’s ability to develop young players and his success at Barcelona make him a strong candidate for Manchester United. The club is eager to return to its winning ways and believes Xavi could be the key to achieving that.

To make Xavi’s move to Old Trafford more appealing, Manchester United is considering signing Barcelona’s talented midfielder, Fermin Lopez. Xavi has praised Lopez in the past, saying, “With Fermin, I would go to war,” showing how highly he regards the player.

Although Xavi has limited European managerial experience, he made an impact at Barcelona during his first full season. After leaving Barcelona as a player in 2015, he began his managerial career with Al Sadd in Qatar. In 2021, Xavi returned to Barcelona as coach and won the 2022/23 La Liga title and the 2023 Supercopa de España.

Xavi also helped develop several young players at Barcelona, including current star Lamine Yamal.

While the reports remain unconfirmed, Manchester United fans are hoping that if the club replaces Ten Hag with Xavi, the former Barcelona captain can bring similar success to Old Trafford.
