Xavi has made his feelings clear on Man Utd as INEOS ‘make calls’ to former Barcelona manager

Xavi, a legendary player for Barcelona, has expressed his opinions regarding Manchester United, following reports that INEOS has had conversations with the former manager in recent weeks.

After the conclusion of the 2023–24 season, Xavi, who had previously served as the manager of Barcelona, parted ways with his cherished club and has not been employed since making the decision.

In the past, the Spaniard was mentioned as a possible candidate to take over for Erik ten Hag as United’s manager during the summer of last year. However, INEOS ultimately made the decision to maintain their faith in the Dutch manager, and they eventually replaced him with Ruben Amorim, who is currently the manager of United.

However, because Amorim is having a difficult time at United at the moment, there have been renewed rumours that Xavi could be joining the Premier League club. However, the remarkable Barcelona player has already made it abundantly clear how he feels about United and their current performance.

Xavi has reportedly been approached by a number of clubs, including United, throughout the course of the season; however, he has remained steadfast in his determination to finish his sabbatical year, according to a report from the Spanish news outlet Relevo.

On the other hand, it is said that Xavi and his team made it abundantly clear that they desired to begin their subsequent project from the very beginning, with the intention of undertaking a project that is competitive in the long term. This means that a move in the summer is more likely to occur.

Reportedly, Xavi has not ruled out the possibility of joining United ahead of the upcoming season, even though he turned down United’s advances during the summer of last year. This is in the event that Amorim is unable to turn around the current campaign.

At the conclusion of Barcelona’s Europa League match against United in 2023, Xavi expressed his admiration for United by praising their progress under Ten Hag’s leadership. This demonstrates that Xavi has a clear admiration for United.

In an interview with TNT Sport, Xavi stated, “I believe Manchester is making a comeback, and they demonstrated their top performance.” It is necessary for us to feel proud.

“I believe that both teams are more or less in the same current moment, in the same position, that we are coming back,” the speaker said. In light of the fact that he is performing exceptionally well and that they are Manchester United, I congratulated Ten Hag at this moment.

“It can be a final, a semi-final, a quarter-final maybe in the future of the Champions League, but now we are in the Europa League and we are coming back.”

Although Barcelona is currently in first place in the La Liga table and continues to be one of the favourites to win the Champions League in 2025, Xavi’s evaluation of the two clubs was not entirely accurate. United, on the other hand, is currently in fifteenth place in the Premier League table.
