“Creativity and unpredictability” – Man United advised to sign star who can succeed where Jadon Sancho failed

Manchester United have been advised to seal the transfer of Xavi Simons, with former Red Devils striker Louis Saha clearly a big fan of the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, who is currently on loan at RB Leipzig.

Simons has impressed during his time on loan at Leipzig, while he also really caught the eye in a stint with PSV Eindhoven, though he’s somewhat surprisingly struggled to establish himself as a regular for PSG.

That could surely mean there’ll be an opportunity for clubs like Man Utd to try signing Simons next year as it’s perhaps hard to imagine he’ll stay at Leipzig for a third loan spell, or move there permanently, while it also looks like being a long way back for him at PSG.

Saha feels Simons can succeed where Jadon Sancho failed at Old Trafford, highlighting the Netherlands international as someone who looks like he could be a good tactical fit for the club, whilst adding qualities like creativity and unpredictability.

“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.
