“Former Barcelona legend signals readiness to take charge at Old Trafford — but only if Manchester United commit fully to his vision.”
Xavi Open to Manchester United Role Amid Speculation Over Amorim’s Future
The managerial storm brewing at Old Trafford has taken another twist after former Barcelona boss Xavi Hernández openly hinted at his willingness to manage Manchester United—under one condition.
Speaking candidly, Xavi did not hold back when asked about the prospect of taking charge of the Red Devils, especially with Rúben Amorim’s position under heavy scrutiny following a string of underwhelming results.
> “I know what Manchester United needs to win every league they desire. I’m far better prepared than certain managers they’ve had, and I understand the kind of football United supporters demand,” Xavi reportedly stated.
Amorim Under Pressure
United’s season has started in disarray despite a summer of heavy investment. The team has struggled to find rhythm, with poor results sparking unrest among fans and murmurs within the boardroom. Amorim, once touted as the bright solution for the post-Ten Hag era, now finds himself on the brink as reports suggest the board is already exploring alternatives.
Why Xavi Thinks He Fits United
The 44-year-old Spaniard, who stepped down from Barcelona earlier this year, emphasized that his football philosophy aligns with Manchester United’s traditions—attacking play, dominance in possession, and tactical flexibility.
“Manchester United is a club with history, ambition, and a global fanbase. They need a manager who understands not just the technical side of the game but the culture of winning. That is where I believe I can make the difference,” Xavi added.
One Big Condition
Despite showing interest, Xavi reportedly set one condition before considering the Old Trafford hot seat—the club must fully back his footballing vision, including squad restructuring and long-term trust in his methods. Having endured boardroom conflicts at Barcelona, he is determined to avoid a repeat.
What This Means for United
The prospect of Xavi stepping in has sent shockwaves through the football world. With Amorim’s future uncertain and United desperate to restore their dominance, the possibility of a legendary midfielder turned tactician leading the charge adds even more drama to an already turbulent campaign.
For now, Amorim remains in charge, but the shadow of Xavi looms large over Old Trafford, leaving fans and pundits alike questioning whether the winds of change are inevitable.
