Xavi to Man Utd? Ex-Barcelona boss joins Ruben Amorim and two more coaches on INEOS shortlist as Red Devils sound out possible Erik ten Hag replacements

Premier League

Ipswich

<p>According to <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/next-manchester-united-manager-tenhag-33973965#google_vignette" target="_blank"><em>The Mirror</em></a>, Xavi, Sporting CP's <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-steal-pep-guardiola-replacement-ruben-amorim-enquiries-erik-ten-hag-successor-man-city-links/blte71e8e0eaee1c077" target="_blank">Ruben Amorim</a>, ex-Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzic and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-erik-ten-hag-thomas-tuchel-mauricio-pochettino-brentford-thomas-frank-ineos/blt632dfa30470b6be0" target="_blank">Brentford manager Thomas Frank</a> are all high on the Old Trafford hit list. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-make-contact-ex-barcelona-xavi-erik-ten-hag-sacking/blt2977b2ea38603ba2" target="_blank">The Red Devils reportedly made contact with Xavi earlier this month</a>, perhaps indicating Ten Hag's time at Old Trafford is drawing to a close.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Ten Hag has won two trophies at United since taking over as manager in 2022 but currently it seems like they are not progressing, despite <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/completed-man-utd-transfers-2024-25/bltd596463ab5905ecf" target="_blank">spending around £200 million on signings this summer.</a> And the fact that all these reports continue to circle that minority owners INEOS are looking for his potential successor is not a good sign. Ten Hag, however, remains bullish on his future. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-fenerbahce-andre-onana-manuel-ugarte/blt8961acb4be824723" target="_blank">1-1 Europa League draw with Fenerbahce</a> on Thursday, Ten Hag said: “Injuries hold us back in our levels - and also in our position in the league. Because when you don't have the players available, you can't line up the best team. We need more players, often available - and we have to work all together on this point. That is the players, the coaching staff, all the other staff. We know when we have them we are a really tough team to play and we can be really successful. That is what we have shown over the last couple of months.”</p>

WHAT ERIK TEN HAG SAID

<p>Amid the speculation about Ten Hag's future and who could replace him in the dugout, his United team take on West Ham on Sunday in a battle between 12th and 15th respectively in the Premier League.</p>
