Former Barcelona Boss Xavier Hernández has been appointed as the manager of this shocking Premier League Club

Former Barcelona Manager Xavi Hernández has been linked with a move to the Premier League after stepping down from his role at Barcelona at the end of the season. The 44-year-old, who led Barcelona to a La Liga title and a Supercopa de España over three seasons, is reportedly considering a break from football to recharge but is also intrigued by an “exciting project” in the Premier League, according to *SPORT*.

One of the clubs potentially interested in him is Manchester United, where the future of current manager Erik ten Hag remains uncertain. *The Times* reports that United could soon make a decision about Ten Hag’s future as they assess his position. While Xavi’s availability has caught attention, it is unclear whether he would be a direct replacement for Ten Hag.

Meanwhile, Thomas Tuchel, another potential candidate for the role, is no longer seen as a frontrunner. Reports suggest Tuchel recently met with Sir Jim Ratcliffe in Monaco to present his vision for United, but left with the impression that the job wouldn’t be his if Ten Hag were dismissed.

Erik ten Hag, who has just returned from his offseason break, remains focused on the progress he’s making at United. After their FA Cup final win over Manchester City, Ten Hag reaffirmed his commitment to building the club’s future, saying, “I’m not thinking about that. I’m working on a project, and we’re exactly where we want to be.” He added, “When I arrived at United, things were in disarray. Now we’re building a team for the future, and while there will be ups and downs, we’re progressing and winning.”

Although Ten Hag acknowledged the team’s improvement, he also emphasized the need for further growth. “Two trophies in two years is decent, but we need to do better,” he said. “If they no longer want me, I’ll move on and continue winning trophies, which has been my career.”

As Manchester United evaluates its managerial situation, Xavi’s potential move to the Premier League could add further intrigue. In the coming weeks, it will become clearer whether Xavi or another managerial change is on the horizon at Old Trafford.
