Man United have been credited with interest in signing Paris Saint-Germain ace Xavi Simons, who has previously worked with Reds assistant boss Ruud van Nistelrooy.
With just over three weeks to go until the start of the new Premier League season, the number of players who are being linked with moves to Manchester United is increasing.
United want to draft in a new defensive-minded midfielder to operate at the base of the engine room and have been heavily linked with Paris Saint-Germain's Manuel Ugarte. They have also expressed interest in Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi. Nevertheless, reports overseas suggest the 21-year-old, who scored for the Netherlands in their European Championship semi-final defeat to England earlier this month, is at the centre of a transfer tug-of-war, with Bayern Munich and Barcelona also being credited with interest in his services.
Speaking to Voetbal International in September 2022, Van Nistelrooy said of Simons: "His mentality, his mindset, it's unprecedented. It's a boy of only 19 years old, but Xavi is already much further advanced than his age. "That bit in him, wanting to do everything for that, I recognise that from myself as a player. I can only enjoy that."
