Manchester United are set to continue the aggressive pursuit of Dutch players under Erik Ten Hag as reports suggest the club pushing to sign Xavi Simons.
Xavi Simons could become the third Netherlands international to join Manchester United this transfer window.
Despite facing competition from RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich, there is a belief within the club that Simons could be swayed by the allure of the Premier League.
The attacking midfielder had a remarkable season at Leipzig, scoring ten goals in 43 appearances.
He has previously impressed during his time at PSV Eindhoven and is currently back at parent club PSG.
Simons’ future is set to be decided soon, especially with the Netherlands now out of Euro 2024.
United are reportedly eager to add another midfielder who can operate in advanced areas, competing with the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount.
If PSG cannot offer Simons regular minutes, a move to Manchester United could become a reality.
Joshua Zirkzee and Matthijs de Ligt are also expected to arrive at Old Trafford.
Zirkzee is set to become the first addition under the INEOS era, joining from Bologna in a £40 million deal.
United’s negotiations to sign Matthijs de Ligt are also progressing well with the defender expressing interest in joining the club.
