Manchester United Eyes Xavi Hernandez as Manager

Manchester United is reportedly eyeing Xavi Hernandez as a potential replacement for under-pressure manager Erik ten Hag, who has faced criticism after a poor start to the season. United executives, led by chief executive Omar Berrada, have met with Xavi's representatives twice in recent months, exploring the former Barcelona manager's interest in the role. Despite speculation, United sources insist that Ten Hag remains in charge for now, preparing for a Europa League match against Fenerbahce. Xavi, who has expressed a desire not to return to coaching in Spain, could be a desirable option given his success at Barcelona. Other candidates, such as Ruud van Nistelrooy for a short-term role and Sporting Lisbon's Ruben Amorim, are also being considered, but the club's managerial search may become more complicated with Thomas Tuchel's recent appointment as England manager. As Ten Hag's future hangs in the balance, Manchester United continues to monitor his performance closely.
