An out-of-sorts Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for Dutch sensation Xavi Simons.
Simons showcased his talents at Euro 2024, outclassing many opponents, including Arsenal's Declan Rice, and reaffirming why he has been on the radar of England's top clubs for some time.
Now, it appears that the player Klopp was 'desperate' to bring to Anfield is back on Manchester United's agenda.
The Mail reports that Simons could be a potential summer target for the Red Devils.
However, any move may depend on whether they secure Champions League qualification by winning the Europa League.
It's believed that contact has been maintained between both parties, as United have previously shown interest in Simons, even after his £42.5million move to RB Leipzig in January - a figure that could rise to around £70m with add-ons.
This renewed interest comes a year after German publication BILD reported that former Liverpool boss Klopp, now Red Bull's global head of soccer, was 'desperate' to bring Simons to Merseyside, describing it as his 'dream' signing.
During England's thrilling Euro 2024 semi-final match against the Netherlands, Simons stole the spotlight with his electric performance against the Three Lions' midfield and the opening goal.
Despite England's dramatic 2-1 comeback, with Harry Kane's penalty and Ollie Watkins' winner, Simons' exceptional display, which left Rice reeling, earned him rave reviews.
Erik ten Hag, the then United boss, was quick to sing Simons' praises, lauding his drive, passion, and ability to read the game, and saying: "I enjoyed Xavi Simons in that game (against England).
He almost has a southern European doggedness in his game."
Speculation is rife that Simons could soon join the Red Devils, with new boss Amorim looking to revamp his struggling squad.
