Manchester United want RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons to bolster their attacking department under Ruben Amorim during the summer window. The 22-year-old has enjoyed a lot of success in the Bundesliga despite Leipzig’s failure to qualify for the Champions League.
Leipzig finished seventh in the Bundesliga this season and missed the chance to play in any European competition next season. Meanwhile, the Red Devils have a chance to qualify for the Champions League by winning the Europa League this season.
Man United will face their Premier League rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, in the Europa League final on the 22nd of May. United are facing financial issues and need to sell players before buying new ones to help Amorim kickstart his project.
Manchester United want RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons to bolster their squad under Ruben Amorim.
The Red Devils need a squad overhaul during the summer as the current squad struggled to adjust to Amorim’s style. That struggle has played a big role in their recent miserable run of form in the Premier League under Amorim.
United are currently 16th in the Premier League table, with 18 losses from 37 games so far, highlighting their struggles. With attacking winger Alejandro Garnacho struggling with consistency and Amad Diallo’s poor injury record, United need to prioritise their flanks.
According to Fichajes, United want Simons from Leipzig to bolster their attacking department under Amorim and strengthen the flanks during the summer. According to the report, the Red Devils are willing to offer €135 million (£113m) for the Dutchman, but that would depend on how much funding they could raise with their sales.
The 22-year-old Dutch international has 11 goals and eight assists from 33 games for Leipzig in all competitions this season. Simons dominantly plays as a left winger but has the versatility to play as a second striker and right winger.
