When Xavi’s wife posted a picture of him and their son with the youngster sporting a Red Devils uniform, it threw Manchester United supporters into a social media frenzy. After departing the Spanish powerhouse at the end of the previous season, the 44-year-old former Barcelona manager is single and has surfaced as a possible successor to Erik ten Hag in recent weeks due to United’s dismal start to the new season.
United reportedly consulted Xavi over the manager’s recent employment. And supporters are certain that the Spaniard has now hinted at accepting the position. His wife posted a picture of Xavi and his small son filling out a sticker book on Instagram on Sunday. The young player has already stoked rumours that Xavi is up for the position while sporting the Manchester United home uniform for this season.
Xavi Teases a Potential Move to Manchester United
The future of Ten Hag is still up in the air despite the management’s decision. There have been increasingly strong calls for his dismissal after a poor 2-1 loss to West Ham. Pundits and analysts are expressing their worries. One Sky Sports broadcaster said, “After nine games, United is in 14th place in the table. Come on, Man United is here.
Following his departure from Barcelona at the end of the previous season, Xavi is currently without a club. Because he is available, he is a strong candidate to succeed Erik ten Hag, whose time at United has come under growing scrutiny after a poor start to the season.
