"Incumbent Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim actually picked up a 2-0 win at Old Trafford on Saturday but having failed to have won back-to-back games in his tenure thus far, there is a consensus that Manchester United could be close to pulling the trigger. With some claiming that Amorim could walk away from the job, United may even save themselves a fee in sacking the Portuguese, paving the way for Xavi to take control."
"Ranked at no.23 in FourFourTwo's list of the greatest players of all time, Xavi is a serial winner lifted everything in the game as a player, before beginning his managerial career in 2019 in Qatar. The former midfielder has been out of management since 2024, however, leaving Barcelona after winning the La Liga title in 2023 and handing debuts to several La Masia stars, including Lamine Yamal."
"CaughtOffside have reported that Xavi is willing to take over at Old Trafford, with Spanish outlet Fichajes noting that the ex-midfielder has decided to take the job if it's offered. Recently, Xavi who played in four World Cups for Spain has been offered a route back into the game via the Saudi Pro League, but is said to have turned down these opportunities."
Manchester United could appoint Xavi Hernandez as manager imminently as Ruben Amorim faces mounting pressure despite a recent 2-0 win at Old Trafford. Amorim has failed to win back-to-back matches in his tenure and some believe he could walk away, which might spare United a sacking fee and pave the way for Xavi. Xavi is a decorated former midfielder and manager, ranked No.23 by FourFourTwo, who left Barcelona in 2024 after winning La Liga in 2023 and promoting La Masia talent. Xavi has reportedly declined Saudi Pro League offers and is said to be willing to take the Old Trafford job if offered. INEOS and club sources continue to publicly back Amorim for now.
