"Manchester United got off to a dream start under caretaker boss Michael Carrick at the weekend, with a tubtumping Manchester derby victory. Goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu sealed the 2-0 victory over their rivals City, as the club look to move on following Ruben Amorim's departure earlier this month. And while Carrick has quickly got off the mark in what is his second stint as Manchester United caretaker boss,"
"The former Nou Camp midfielder and head coach has been out of work since he left Barca in May 2024, following a three-year stint in charge of the club which saw him win the 2022/23 La Liga title. Spanish outlet Fichajes claim that the Old Trafford board are looking to hire a coach with more experience than Carrick and believe that Xavi can bring stability and a recognisable structure' to the club, with talks having already been opened."
"However, Manchester United may face competition to land the 45-year-old, who was ranked at number four in FourFourTwo's list of the 100 best players of the 21st century. That's because this same report claims that Tottenham are also said to be interested in securing the services of the 133-time Spain international, should they decide to part ways with under-fire boss Thomas Frank."
