Xavi could be appointed to the Manchester United bench thanks to a Barcelona star

A 'catastrophe' is brewing at Manchester United. The 'red devils' are having a terrifying start to the season, recording three wins, four draws and three defeats in all competitions, occupying 14th in the Premier League and 21st in the Europa League. For this reason, the continuity of Erik ten Hag is more questioned than ever and the 'red devils' are already studying several options to replace the Dutchman.

One of the preferred options of the sports management would be Xavi Hernández, without a team since his departure from FC Barcelona. The Manchester club would welcome the arrival of the Egarense to the Old Trafford bench, and to convince him they would be willing to make a significant effort to secure the signing of Fermín López for the midfield.

Barça's position with Fermín's departure

The Andalusian made his debut under the orders of the Terrassa native and is one of his 'right-hand men', so the Red Devils would try to seduce Hernández with the signing of Fermín, revalued after his 'explosion' at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. In fact, at the Theatre of Dreams they would have sounded out his incorporation last summer, and would be willing to put an important offer on the table to receive the green light from Barça.

Despite this, both Hansi Flick and the club itself consider López an important piece for the future and would have no intention of transferring him. However, the economic power of the Mancunians could end up tempting the Catalans, who could think about the transfer of the midfielder if the proposal is worth a million, according to 'El Nacional.cat'.

So far, there have been no concrete approaches and everything has been limited to rumours, but in the coming months things could speed up if United do not raise their heads at a sporting level, where Ten Hag is increasingly on the ropes and Xavi's name would begin to gain strength.
