Manchester United are gearing up for a major summer rebuild, with the midfield being a focal point of their efforts.
Several attacking options have already been linked to the club, with names like Kenan Yildiz of Juventus also in the frame.
However, it’s the RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons who is reportedly at the top of their wishlist, with United eyeing a move for the 21-year-old Dutch talent.
The Red Devils’ interest comes as no surprise, as they look to bolster their midfield with a player capable of adding dynamism and creativity.
Xavi Simons, who made his move to Leipzig permanent in January after an initial loan spell, has been turning heads across Europe with his impressive performances.
Known for his versatility, the attacking midfielder has the ability to play in various positions across the frontline, something that has caught the attention of United’s management as they seek to add more options to their attacking setup.
With 18 goals and 19 assists in 69 appearances for Leipzig, Xavi Simons has proven he has what it takes to shine in one of Europe’s top leagues.
However, Manchester United will face stiff competition for his signature this summer.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool have all shown interest in the young talent, with previous attempts to sign him last summer falling short.

The report suggests that the 21-year-old’s relatively affordable price tag, estimated to be between €70m-€75m (£58.4m-£62.6m), could make him an attractive option for several top Premier League clubs looking to strengthen their squads.
Despite the intense competition, Manchester United are believed to be in a strong position to land Simons, having made him a priority target.
With their ongoing pursuit of midfield reinforcements, the club will have to move quickly to secure a deal before their rivals can make their moves.
United’s need for a creative midfielder has never been more urgent, as they continue to search for the right player to fit into their attacking plans.
As the summer transfer window approaches, it’s clear that the battle for Simons will intensify.
United’s pursuit could see them face a bidding war with some of the Premier League’s biggest clubs, but with the right strategy, they could come out on top in securing the Dutchman’s services.
