His struggles continued on Saturday with a 3-1 loss for Brentford in the Gtech Community Stadium, leaving United in 14th place in the Premier League after six games.
After the game, Amorim claimed that he was not worried about his role, despite claims that a shortlist of three candidates – Former England manager Gareth Southgate, Oliver Glasner of Crystal Palace and Andoni Iraola van Bournemouth was prepared by the club.
However, the conflicting reports of BBC Sport Simon Stone indicate that the co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, co-owner of United.
Romano has further fed the speculation that Amorim’s term of office could approach the end.
The Italian reporter said that ex-Barcelona boss Xavi Hernández would even go to Manchester United “even without European football”, and added that the Spaniard would “keep” a chance to coach in the Premier League, although no formal discussions have taken place with regard to a relocation to England.
Xavi, 45, has been from management since leaving Barcelona in 2024. During his supervisor he introduced Lamine Yamal to the first team and led the club to the La Liga Championship 2022/23.
Proponents quickly responded online to the Romano claims.
It was said, “From all the names, I don’t mind Xavi … The only reason is that he is a midfielder, he would know how poor our midfield is and would demand midfielders.”
Another added: “If Xavi had the same chance and support as Amorim so far, you would have been a much better team.”
A third claimed: “Xavi would change Kobbie Mainoo to Prime Iniesta. Now bring it in.”
Xavi also enjoyed two striking versions against United as a player in the Champions League Finals 2009 and 2011, where Barcelona defeated Sir Alex Ferguson in Rome and London.
In a recent conversation with the athletics, Xavi referred to the Premier League as “pure football” and he “liked to play in Anfield of Old Trafford” because of the atmosphere.
When he was asked to return to coaching, he said: “There is no hurry for me, but I would like a good project. Such as:” You have four years to work and make a project. “I would like to work in the Premier League because I love passion there. In Spain it is too much about the result.
“See what happened to Ancelotti and people who criticize him. It’s not fair.”
