Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada has held talks with Xavi, according to a report. Erik ten Hag continues to be under intense pressure at Old Trafford and he is feeling it, judging by his increasingly ridiculous comments Man Utd have endured their worst start to a Premier League season - off the back of their worst-ever campaign in the division - and Ten Hag is fighting to keep his job.

Manchester United have held ‘secret talks’ with a number of managers and are considering hiring a Premier League boss to replace Erik ten Hag. Ten Hag remains on the brink at Old Trafford despite last weekend’s much-needed comeback win over Brentford and an acceptable draw against Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce in midweek.

Manchester United should have already sacked manager Erik ten Hag following a poor start to the season. That’s according to Hull City owner Acun Ilicali, who believes the Dutchman is a ‘good coach’ but ‘not a good fit’ for the club.
