This follows United’s decision to part ways with Erik ten Hag after a poor start to the season, with the team sitting 14th in the Premier League after nine games, compounded by a recent loss to West Ham.
Reports indicate that Xavi is a top contender for the United job, although Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the club are considering other options. As of now, bookmakers place Xavi at 8/1 odds, behind Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ruben Amorim.
Xavi, who left his role at Barcelona in May, has expressed his eagerness to return to management after a challenging period with the club, which saw Hansi Flick appointed as his successor.
The post from Xavi’s wife has added fuel to the speculation, sparking excitement among fans about the potential for the legendary midfielder to bring his expertise to Old Trafford.
