Dutchman holds Man United talks – United make offer for Frenchman – Man United told to pay £85M for midfielder

Here is a roundup of the top Manchester United news and gossip that we think you guys could have missed today –

Manchester United have been told to splash £85million for Paris Saint-Germain star Xavi Simons, who spent last season on loan at RB Leipzig.

The 21-year-old, after bagging 19 goals and eight assists during a loan at PSV Eindhoven last season, has racked up seven goals and 16 assists during his stint at RB Leipzig this season.

There has been talk that he will head back to parent club PSG at the end of the season to be given a chance in their squad – but that ha snot stopped speculation that a number of Premier League clubs will make a cheeky offer for the talented attacker.

Now – according to Bild, Manchester United, Arsenal and Bayern Munich have all put Simons high on their transfer lists.

The Red Devils are determined to continue building a superstar squad so they can go one better than the previous two seasons by lifting the Premier League title, but have been told to pay £85 million if they want to get a transfer deal done.

Amid all the speculation that Man United are interested in a deal for the attacker – Ruud Van Nistelrooy recently sang the praises of the exciting star: “Xavi Simons is in the spotlight, he is not a new discovery, but I think that he will continue to grow to a world-class level.

“I had him at PSV, now he is at Leipzig taking his next steps. I say that he is a player for a great team even as a starter.

“He has character, he is professional, he is focused on getting the most out of his potential.

“And then he has quality, he is very complete, he knows how to do many things well. He can dribble, he scores goals, he is great in transitions, he plays in small spaces. I see him as very complete.”

UNITED MAKE YORO OFFER – 

Manchester United have made contact over a deal for Leny Yoro, according to the latest reports in the media as the Red Devils seek to win the race for the gifted French star.

Yoro made 32 appearances in the French top flight last season, scoring twice and keeping 15 clean sheets as Lille finished fourth, and established himself as one of the most promising young centre-backs in European football

Manchester United have lost the experienced Rafa Varane this summer after he decided that he would not be agreeing a new contract at Old Trafford – meaning Erik Ten Hag will need to sign an immediate replacement.

According to Football Insider, scouts have already been to watch the sought-after talent and have reported incredibly positive feedback to manager Erik ten Hag and owners INEOS

Lille recently admitted they are preparing for Yoro and Jonathan David to leave this summer – Club president Olivier Letang said: “Leny Yoro and Jonathan David can leave the club this summer.

“Both have the ‘exit voucher’ due to their contract situation”

However – Recent reports suggest the 18-year-old has been asked to wait for his number one choice, Real Madrid as Los Blancos are now expected to make an offer for the Frenchman.

Yoro is a brilliant talent – but if Madrid really wants the lad and the defender wants to make the move to  La Liga – then Manchester United should stay away from a possible deal as the lads heart will not be in Manchester.

The Red Devils may want the lad but it seems he wants Madrid

DE LIGT TALKS HELD – 

It is reported that Matthijs De Ligt’s agents have spoken to Manchester United about a move away from Bayern Munich this summer transfer window.

The 25-year-old has struggled for game time at Bayern Munich this season and that has led to alot of speculation in the media suggesting that Bayern may be open to the idea of letting him leave this January window.

Premier League clubs such as Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea have all been linked with a move for the Dutch defender over the past few months, but were recently knocked back after former boss Thomas Tuchel revealed that the big man would no be leaving in the winter window.

However – the Sky Sports Germany have claimed that Bayern may be open to letting De Ligt leave the club this transfer window – when they will have more of an opportunity to find an immediate replacement for the Dutchman.

And they will accept bids of around £42million for the former Ajax man and reports on the Football.London website have claimed that De Ligt’s camp has spoken to the likes of Chelsea, Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal about a potential move to the Premier League.

It is no secret that United need to sign a new defender as Rafa Varane has left the club – and De Ligt could be an ideal signing.

He is young enough to be handed a massive contract by Manchester United and he is talented enough to be a brilliant addition to the squad – so he is certainly the type of player that the Red Devils board would love to sign.

So if the reports are true and Bayern would be open to letting the defender leave the club at the end of the season – then we are certain that Man United will make an offer for the man.

But there will also be alot of other clubs that could also make moves.
