Manchester United won’t necessarily fire Reuben Amorim if the team loses to Sunderland today, but Zabi could be the name to look at as a candidate for the Red Devils’ job.
As originally reported here for a daily briefing, Amorims are not safe in Old Trafford and may not be long before they seriously consider change.
Now, after a series of expensive managers employed over the years, there is no greater desire for more change at Man UTD.
Still, former Barcelona boss Xavi has instructed his representatives to refuse an offer from the Saudi Arabian professional league club, so it was said it could be something to watch.

Xavi is looking for a Premier League job – can that lead him to Manchester United?
Zabi is said to be keen to work in the UK next, so Spanish tacticians will certainly recognize that there could be an open soon to United.
However, as you can see in my full report, I sometimes rely on other options that have slightly different profiles.
But Zabi is someone who will do well in Barca and can do big things at another top club in the near future.
Xavi should have the tools to create a great coaching career for himself, even if he can’t fully plan for him after playing under good managers like Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique.
The former midfielder started off well at Know Camp, but in the end he couldn’t be as successful as the manager as he was as a player.
United could be an interesting opportunity for him, and it is clear that if Amorim is given an x, he is ready to make himself available.
