If Ruben Amorim continues to fail at Old Trafford, Man United is reportedly planning a possible move for former Barcelona manager Xavi. In November, Sir Jim Ratcliffe will decide to fire Erik ten Hag and bring in Amorim to replace him because the Red Devils are having a disastrous season with INEOS.
Manchester United is now in 15th place in the Premier League, which puts them closer to relegation than the top four. Amorim is already facing a lot of pressure to improve his team’s performance and results. Only four of Amorim’s first 15 Premier League games as manager have seen Manchester United win, which is worse than Ten Hag’s tenure at Old Trafford.
There have been some rumors that Amorim might be fired if things don’t get better, but most reports say the Portuguese head coach will remain in his position until the end of the season at the latest.
Former Barcelona boss Xavi eyeing the Man United job
The Peoples Person said that Thomas Frank of Brentford is the frontrunner to take Amorim’s place in the Old Trafford dugout. After previously rejecting United, Relevo now claims that Xavi is also a candidate for the hot seat.
According to the Spanish news source, Xavi was “sounded out” by United to replace Erik ten Hag while he was still at Barcelona. It is believed that shortly after Ten Hag left, United got in touch with him once more. On both occasions, the famous midfielder rejected United.
When United approached him again, according to Relevo, Xavi believed that interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy would be retained until the end of the season, after which he would consider his options.
