Manchester United suffered a 3-1 loss to Brentford on Saturday. That was their third defeat in a terrible start to the season.
A day later, the Portuguese press said Ruben Amorim is in ‘hot water’ and questioned his future at Old Trafford.
Amorim remains in place at United, who are being linked to other managers, including Xavi Hernández.
Mundo Deportivo have covered the Spaniard’s situation and reports linking him to Manchester United and Al-Ittihad. The latter are yet to appoint a permanent manager after parting ways with Laurent Blanc.
Xavi has been without a job since leaving Barcelona in May 2024 and the Catalan outlet say he has ruled out moving to Saudi Arabia. Sources informed them he’s not keen at all.
Prior to taking the Barcelona job in 2021, the 45-year-old Spaniard managed Qatari side Al Sadd for two years. Mundo report he doesn’t want a Middle East job and is instead looking for a top-level club.
Fabrizio Romano reported over the weekend that Xavi would be interested in the Manchester United opportunity if presented to him. That appears to be the job he’s most keen on, with other sources reporting similar in recent years.
