Xavi Eyes the Manchester United Bench Amid Ruben Amorim’s Crisis
Manchester United’s future hangs by a thread, and the name of Xavi Hernández has resurfaced strongly as an unexpected candidate.
Xavi Tempted by Old Trafford
Manchester United’s poor start to the season has cast doubt over Ruben Amorim’s future, and a big name has emerged among potential replacements: Xavi Hernández. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Spaniard would be willing to take charge at Old Trafford “immediately,” even without European competition.
The 3-1 defeat to Brentford further increased the pressure on Amorim, with United sinking to 14th place after three losses in their first six Premier League games.
Romano Confirms Xavi’s Interest
On his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano said: “Xavi is studying the Premier League, monitoring what’s happening there, and he would be ready to go to United immediately, even without Europe.” The revelation comes at a critical moment for Amorim, whose start in England has raised more doubts than optimism.
Although United’s board has yet to make a decision, the prospect of such a high-profile replacement could accelerate any move in the coming weeks.
The Profile United Is Looking For
After winning LaLiga and the Spanish Supercopa in 2022-23 with Barcelona, Xavi became a free agent following his departure from Camp Nou. His attacking philosophy and pedigree as an elite player make him an attractive candidate for a United side desperate to regain identity and stability.
The next few fixtures will be decisive for Ruben Amorim: another slip could open the door to immediate changes. In the meantime, Xavi waits for his chance, aware that Old Trafford sees him as a potential lifeline in the midst of the storm.
