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

Manchester United have been advised to complete 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 impressed during his loan spell at Leipzig, while he also really caught the eye during his time at PSV Eindhoven, although somewhat surprisingly he struggled to establish himself as a regular for PSG.

That could certainly mean there’s an opportunity for clubs like Man Utd to sign Simons next year, as it might be hard to imagine him staying on loan at Leipzig for a third time, or moving there permanently, while it also looks like there’s a long road ahead for him at PSG.

Saha believes Simons can succeed where Jadon Sancho failed at Old Trafford. He highlighted the Dutch international as someone who could be a good tactical fit for the club, while adding qualities such as creativity and unpredictability.

Sancho is undoubtedly one of United’s most disappointing signings in recent times, so if United can find a superior version, it could be the answer to many of their problems that they hoped to solve by bringing in Sancho in the first place.

Xavi Simons seems ideal for United, says Saha

“I think Manchester United should focus on Xavi Simons. I really like him and he is the kind of player who can have a huge impact at the club,” Saha told Casino Hawks, as quoted by Manchester Evening News.

“There are not many players in that category, Dani Olmo at Barcelona is one of them. I definitely think Simons has the ability to be a success if he ends up at United.
