Xavi to replace Ruben Amorim at Man Utd?

Former Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez has opened the door to managing Manchester United if Ruben Amorim is sacked, according to reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Xavi has been out of work since parting ways with Barcelona in 2024, but he is open to a new challenge in the Premier League during the ongoing campaign.

The Spaniard has been offered a big payday with Al-Ittihad in Saudi, but he would be prepared to accept the job at United immediately if an opportunity arises.

Amorim is not close to being sacked at the moment but the scenario could change if the Red Devils fail to beat Sunderland at Old Trafford next weekend.

United have picked up only seven points after six games into the season and the pressure is on Amorim to beat the Black Cats before the international break.

Any other result could lead to serious questions over his future with United, particularly with Xavi prepared to take over at the helm if required.
