Manchester United will take the opportunity of its visit to Atlético de Madrid to watch Giuliano Simeone in person. The teams meet at the Metropolitano on Tuesday, 13 October, in the second round of the Champions League league phase.
The match carries particular importance for Diego Pablo Simeone’s side: it failed to take points against Liverpool at Anfield Road in the opening round. The European fixture will also give the Red Devils a chance to assess Giuliano Simeone, who is attracting interest from other prominent English clubs.
Tottenham and Manchester City are also among the clubs said to be interested, according to recent reports. Their reported attention adds to Manchester United’s interest in the player.
Giuliano Simeone has a strong emotional attachment to Atlético, the club he has always dreamed of playing for and where he is an important player. That connection makes the interest from English clubs a sensitive matter for the Madrid side.
