After the disappointing start to the season of the ‘Red Devils’, the board is considering a change of scenery in the dugout. The most likely candidate at present for Manchester United is former FC Barcelona coach Xavi Hernández, with whom, according to English media, contact has already been made.
A terrible start to the season for Manchester United:
Manchester United are currently 12th in the Premier League table, with just 11 points. A position that has not gone down well with the club’s fans, who see their team’s tendency to hover around the middle of the table for yet another year.
Fans and management alike are tired of living in this situation for another year, so work is already underway within the club to find a guaranteed replacement for current coach Erik ten Hag, who can change the direction of the team.
Despite having multiple established stars in the squad this year such as Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, the team isn’t living up to expectations. Seeing the potential of the players, all eyes are on the bench, blaming the Dutch coach for the team’s incomprehensible underperformance.
Contact with Xavi:
Xavi, known for his playing philosophy and ability to manage large squads, could be the key to returning Manchester United to the top of European football. His legacy at Barcelona, both as a player and coach, makes him an attractive option for the club.
The club’s delegation, led by chief executive Omar Berrada, reportedly met with the Catalan coach last week. Although the club is keeping Erik ten Hag as its coach, the situation is uncertain and the possibility of a change is still up in the air.
Manchester United are considering several options:
However, Xavi isn’t the only name on the list of possible replacements. Other candidates include Ruben Amorim, coach of Sporting Lisbon, and Edin Terzic, former Borussia Dortmund coach. Meanwhile, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ten Hag’s current assistant, could take charge of the team on an interim basis.
Manchester United are looking for a change of direction to regain their lost glory and Xavi Hernández could be the right person to lead this project.
Only time will tell if the former Catalan player and coach will accept the challenge of leading the English team.
