Manchester United want to hire former Barcelona manager

Manchester United are looking at a former Barcelona coach to potentially replace Ten Hag, per reports in England.

Manchester United is reportedly considering Xavi, former FC Barcelona manager, as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag.

The club is strategizing on how to convince Xavi to accept the role. Ten Hag is currently facing significant pressure amid speculation that he may be the next Premier League manager to be dismissed before United’s match against Aston Villa on Sunday.

Reports suggest that Xavi is a top contender for the position. Following his departure from Barcelona last season, where he secured victories in La Liga and the Supercopa de España, Xavi has been without a coaching position.

United is exploring options, with Xavi being favored by Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Reports indicate that the club is interested in the 44-year-old and could recruit a Barcelona player in order to persuade him to replace Ten Hag.

United may go the extra mile to lure the Catalan coach, with signing Fermin Lopez being one possible strategy.
