Louis Saha explains why he thinks £70m RB Leipzig star would ‘have a huge impact’ at Man United -Report

Louis Saha, a former striker for Manchester United, thinks that the Netherlands international Xavi Simons would give the Red Devils’ midfield “unpredictability” and wants the team to sign him.

Simons has played 22 games for the Netherlands and is currently in his second season with German team RB Leipzig while on loan from French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain.

Saha believes that the 21-year-old might give United, who have only scored five goals in their first five Premier League games of the season, greater inventiveness.

“I think Manchester United should target Xavi Simons, I really like him and he’s the sort of player that could have a huge impact at the club,” Saha told Casino Hawks.

“He showed up during Euro 2024 and I think he provides a great option in transition in midfield as well as creating chances for his team-mates.

“There aren’t many players in that bracket, Dani Olmo at Barcelona is another one. I definitely think Simons has the capacity to be a success if he did end up at United.

“He’s very hard to defend against because he’s always on the move, United still need legs in midfield and more creativity and unpredictability.

“Jadon Sancho is a player that didn’t fit it tactically, but I don’t think that will be the case with Simons, he is confident in his quality and it looks like he has the character to succeed
