Manchester United, who were unable to sign Erik ten Hag this summer, have been informed of the player they must sign.
Xavi Simons was one of the players who left United during the summer, along with Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Manuel Ugarte. After failing to make the Paris Saint-Germain roster, the Netherlands international is currently serving a second consecutive season-long loan with RB Leipzig. Former Red Devils attacker Louis Saha now feels that his previous side needs to make every effort to sign the attacking midfield player.
Over the summer, United signed Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Manuel Ugarte; however, Xavi Simons was let go. The Netherlands international was not part of Paris Saint-Germain’s plans, thus he is spending his second consecutive season on loan at RB Leipzig. Louis Saha, a former attacker for the Red Devils, now feels that his former side needs to make every effort to sign the attacking midfield player.
“Manchester United should target Xavi Simons, I really like him, and he’s the kind of player that could have a huge impact at the club,” he said to Casino Hawks. He made an appearance during Euro 2024, and in my opinion, he offers a superb midfield transition option in addition to providing opportunities for his teammates. A few players are in that class; Dani Olmo of Barcelona is one such them.If Simons were to end up at United, I firmly believe he would be a success. Because he moves constantly, he is incredibly difficult to defend against. United still needs more creativity and unpredictable play in the midfield. Jadon Sancho is a guy who, in my opinion, didn’t fit in tactically, but Simons seems like he has the character to succeed and is self-assured in his abilities.
United’s first team will play in a Premier League match on Saturday against Tottenham, pitting them against 10th-place teams in the league, while the team will continue to work behind the scenes to add new players.
