Manchester United celebrated a thrilling Manchester derby win under caretaker boss Michael Carrick this past weekend, marking a promising start with a 2-0 victory against rivals City. Goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu contributed to this success as the club shifts focus following Ruben Amorim’s recent departure.
Despite Carrick's quick impact in his second stint as caretaker, Manchester United remains on the lookout for a permanent manager to appoint at season's end.
Xavi Linked with Manchester United Job
Recent reports suggest that Manchester United has initiated discussions with Barcelona icon Xavi Hernandez regarding the managerial vacancy. Xavi, who left Barcelona in May 2024 after clinching the 2022/23 La Liga title, is seen as a potential figure to bring stability and a ‘recognizable structure’ to the club.
However, the Red Devils might face competition from Tottenham, who are also eyeing Xavi should they part ways with underperforming boss Thomas Frank, currently under scrutiny after a disappointing defeat leaves Spurs in the lower half of the Premier League table.
With Xavi’s coaching future expected to be resolved in the coming months, the lure of the Premier League presents an intriguing opportunity for the former midfielder as he aims to establish himself further as an elite manager.
