Raiola to help Man Utd prise Xavi Simons from Barcelona

Manchester United are eyeing Barcelona whizkid Xavi Simons.

Just 14, Simons is enjoying a fresh wave of publicity after super agent Mino Raiola made a move for him last month.

Real Madrid and Chelsea have made attempts to ferry him away from Barca this year, however United are now being linked.

Spanish media sources say the involvement of Raiola suggests United are keen, given his close relationship with the English giants.

Raiola met with Simons' father, Regillio, on Sunday to discuss signing him to his stable.
