Sky Sports' renowned Italian transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, has refuted rumours claiming that both Manchester United and Juventus are interested in appointing Barcelona legendary midfielder Xavi Hernandez to replace their respective head coaches Ruben Amorim and Thiago Motta through his personal official paid column on Saturday.

Romano refuted the rumours in his column, saying that the rumours were simply inexplicable and incorrect.

He said that Juventus management never thought that its head coach Thiago Motta's position had become precarious. On the contrary, I Bianconeri's Sporting Director, Cristiano Giuntoli, had just refuted the rumours in an interview a few days ago.

In addition, he also denied that Manchester United had never considered appointing Xavi.

The Red Devils did not consider appointing Xavi when they decided to sack Erik Ten Hag, and now they have no such plans either.

There is only one head coach candidate that Manchester United management trusts, and that is Ruben Amorim.

As for Xavi Hernández himself, Romano revealed that the former Barcelona and Spain legendary midfielder has been on a sabbatical since leaving the Blaugrana, his situation is just the same like when Jürgen Klopp left Dortmund and when Pep Guardiola left Barcelona.

However, Xavi believes that he is now "fully charged" and ready to work again, so he will carefully examine every club's offers for him after the transfer window opens this summer.

It is worth mentioning that no club has approached Xavi yet, hence rumours claiming that the Serie A giants or the Red Devils who are in extremely poor form this season have planned to approach him are naturally fake.

Upon verification, rumours claiming that Juventus and the Premier League giants are interested in approaching Xavi to replace Amorim and Motta came from the French media outlet L'Equipe and our website's "Daily Slap in the Face Party" regular representative, the UK's notoriously infamous online media outlet Team Talk!
