"Xavi is currently out of work, but previously impressed during a stint in charge at the Nou Camp, where he won La Liga and the Supercopa de Espana. The Spanish tactician could be a decent candidate for Man Utd if they do decide to part ways with Amorim, but it seems he wouldn't be that keen on the move to Old Trafford."
"According to Luckhurst, Xavi joked to those close to him that he'd be a bit worried about the bad weather in Manchester if he were to take the United job. This is probably not something to be taken too seriously, but at the same time if he really does have any doubts about how he'd adapt to life in England then MUFC should probably just stay well away."
Xavi is out of work after a successful Barcelona spell that included La Liga and the Supercopa de Espana. He joked to those close to him that he'd be worried about Manchester's bad weather, suggesting reluctance to move to Old Trafford. Manchester United could prefer a manager with proven Premier League experience after Ruben Amorim and Erik ten Hag struggled following success in weaker European leagues. If Amorim leaves, Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner and Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola are strong targets, having massively over-achieved and likely seeking steps up to bigger clubs. The United job represents a significant challenge but an attractive opportunity for ambitious managers.
