Manchester United are reportedly in active communication with RB Leipzig's attacking midfielder Xavi Simons, valued at £67 million, as they aim to strengthen their offensive options for the upcoming summer transfer window. The Red Devils are seeking to address their struggles in the final third this season due to a lack of creativity leading to insufficient goal-scoring opportunities for their strikers. Simons has also garnered interest from Liverpool, but United has shown serious intent by maintaining contact with the versatile Dutch midfielder, described as a 'difference-maker' by his manager Marco Rose. However, the club may face competition from Manchester City and Bayern Munich for his signature.
In addition to Simons, United is considering a move for Ipswich Town attacker Liam Delap, who has scored 12 Premier League goals this season, and Juventus' Dusan Vlahovic, with the Serie A side showing interest in Rasmus Hojlund. Manager Ruben Amorim is looking to make significant additions to his squad to enhance their creative and scoring capabilities in the final third.
