Xavi Hernández and his possible new destination: a total surprise

Xavi Hernández is determined to enjoy his sabbatical year. Since his departure from FC Barcelona at the end of last season, several clubs have approached the egarense to take charge of their squads, but the coach has remained firm in his stance of not sitting on a bench this season and has rejected all these proposals.

After a tiring stint at Spotify Camp Nou, the former midfielder's idea has been to start a new adventure from scratch, ruling out any possibility of taking over a team in the middle of the season. However, the coach is preparing to return to the sidelines for the next season, and a big club in the Premier League is keeping an eye on this situation.

Xavi Hernández is wanted in Manchester

According to 'Relevo', Manchester United is considering the possibility of acquiring Xavi's services at the end of the season. The 'red devils' had already explored his signing once they dismissed Erik ten Hag last October, but Hernández declined the offer as he preferred to take charge of the Manchester bench next summer, with an eye on the 2025-2026 season.

Ultimately, from the offices of Old Trafford, they ended up paying a fortune to Sporting CP to acquire the services of Rúben Amorim, and the egarense's dream seemed to fade away. However, the Portuguese's position is precarious due to the poor performance of his team (they have only managed 4 victories in the Premier and are in 15th place in the table), and despite having a contract until 2027, they do not rule out letting him go in the summer window.

It is in this scenario where Xavi's name reappears at the Theatre of Dreams, where he would be seen as the main candidate to take charge of the team if Amorim ends up leaving the club. Hernández, for his part, is preparing to take on a new challenge, whether in Manchester or another destination, with the idea of taking on a competitive long-term project that allows him to return to the elite. He will not lack offers.
