According to sources, Barcelona star Xavi has expressed his desire to take Ruben Amorim’s place at Manchester United. After United’s dismal start to the season, Amorim is under tremendous pressure at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils are now 14th in the Premier League after losing to Brentford on Saturday. They have only won two of their first seven games. With just 33 points from 34 games since taking Erik ten Hag’s place last November, Amorim has yet to win back-to-back league games.

According to reports, United has created a shortlist of potential successors for the former Sporting manager, indicating that they are at least considering firing Amorim.
Sir Gareth Southgate, Oliver Glasner, and Andoni Iraola have all been connected to the Old Trafford position since the Brentford loss.
