Manchester United make contact with ex-Barcelona manager about replacing Erik ten Hag

The departure from the club was far from ideal, as he was dismissed just weeks after receiving a public endorsement from the management, and he had previously retracted his resignation.

However, he did end a three-year La Liga title drought with Barcelona and expressed that he felt his contributions were more appreciated elsewhere, which seems to be true.

Recently, there have been indications of interest in Xavi, especially when it seemed he might not remain at Barcelona.

Reports suggest that Manchester United has reached out to him regarding a potential managerial position at Old Trafford.
