It hasn't taken long for Xavi Hernández to find a new box. A few months after leaving Barça, the Catalan coach has the possibility of taking charge of Manchester United on the table. Negotiations go on positively, to the point that Madrid-Barcelona has been able to find out that the first conditions are already being met to reach a definitive agreement.
A few days ago, a delegation from United headed to Barcelona to meet with Xavi in person. The impressions were positive, but the man from Terrassa asked for time. He is willing to move to England to start a new personal project, but he wants to know if his opinion will be respected when it comes to putting together the Red Devils squad.
Xavi Hernández believes that a major clean-up is needed in the Manchester United squad and has proposed, in particular, strengthening the defense. He has put the name of one of his former pupils at Barça on the table: Andreas Christensen. The Dane is a player who left him with great impressions by being able to occupy various positions, staying fit and being able to bring the ball out well.
He holds Andreas Christensen in high regard and believes that his veteran status, as well as his experience in England, could be very useful if he ends up coaching Manchester United.
Xavi Hernández: clear condition
What Xavi Hernández is clear about is that no one is going to outsmart him. He knows the precedents at Manchester United and wants to have everything clear before accepting an offer that has generated a lot of interest. The Catalan is clear about one thing: if they want him, they will have to bring him Andreas Christensen , a player he loves.
And the truth is that Barça wouldn't put up much resistance if a good offer for Andreas Christensen came in. Despite being an important player and well liked in the dressing room, he arrived for free and his contract ends in 2025. The Dane could leave if a proposal of between 30 and 35 million euros came in.
In any case, it is still too early. Xavi Hernández is the favorite to coach United and has set clear conditions. One, the transfer of Lewandowski's great friend in the Barcelona dressing room.
Andreas Christensen wouldn't be against his departure if the offer is good. He knows that he will not be as important at Barça as in previous years. He is a loved and respected player, but by no means untouchable, we will have to see...
