Xabi Alonso is currently one of the most hunted coaches for great teams of Europe and I'm sure United would love to have him but he is also linked with City in case that Guardiola will leave to pursue his dream of training a national team for 2026 world cup and beyond.
At this point its kinda clear that United needs a new coach because even in premier league they are not doing great at all and year after year we see the same poor United ...having great players but cannot make great performances.
Actually, it is a little misunderstanding here. However, no one contacted about the Leverkusen coach is Xabi Alonso but rather former Barcelona coach —Xavi Hernandez. If the opportunity arises, Barcelona legend Xavi has even declared himself interested in steering United amid his experience and success with heading Barcelona. In the meantime, a number of top sides are keeping tabs on Xabi Alonso and City could make their move if Guardiola decides to become national team manager. Xavi's Man United appointment could provide a fresh approach for the club, but do they need to find an identity in Premier League as well?
Should Xavi Hernandez become United coach he may also bring his own tactical school, going by the Barcelona style of keeping possession and quick short passes. This type of philosophy may invigorate United who in recent seasons have been inconsistent and at times lack integration between the individual performances from star men.
But Xavi will have his work cut out, particularly when it comes to putting his blueprint on a United team that is more like a mix of different styles.
