As FC Barcelona travelled to Old Trafford for their second leg, their coach Xavi was all praise for the Red Devils coach, Erik Ten Hag. Prior to the match during an interview, as Xavi was asked about Ten Hag, he said, “He is very good, I like him a lot. He has built a team and is getting the best out of all his players. That speaks well of him. Tactically he is very good and he handles the dressing room very well.”

This statement about the vice-captain of the Red Devils did not go well with the fans. Bruno Fernandes has contributed well this season for his club with 9 assists and 7 goals in 36 matches. He has only gained more love from the fans. Hence, it’s only natural that after United won the match against the Blaugranas and kicked them out of the Europa League, fans burst out with trolls for Xavi.
