Ex-Sporting boss under pressure, Xavi tipped as replacement 👀 | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim is going through the most delicate period since he was acquired by Manchester United from Sporting in November of last year, 2024, for a fee of around 11 million euros, following the defeat against Brentford, 3-1.

According to information reported by Fabrizio Romano, Xavi Hernández has shown interest in becoming the new manager of the Old Trafford club, should the 40-year-old Portuguese coach eventually be dismissed or offer his resignation. The Spaniard has not been in charge of any team since leaving Barcelona in June 2024.

Even so, he is not the only name being considered to succeed Ruben Amorim as manager of Manchester United. The English press is already suggesting possible successors for the position, with the name Gareth Southgate, former England manager, appearing in both publications, as well as Olivier Glasner (Crystal Palace), Fabian Hurzeler (Brighton), and Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth) as options.

The person who does not seem worried about his possible dismissal is the Red Devils' coach himself, as he revealed in his statements to the press after the Brentford defeat: “I am never worried about my job, I am not that kind of person. That decision is not mine. I will do my best every minute I am here.”

Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United has three defeats and one draw in the league, with only two victories so far in this Premier League campaign. The English league is led by Liverpool with 15 points, who also lost this round against Crystal Palace.
