Manchester United have suffered a great deal in the Premier League this season due to a lack of creativity in midfield though it must be pointed out that star player and midfielder Paul Pogba has been restricted to just five starts and one substitute appearance in the league this season due to an ankle problem.
According to the report from Italian news outlet CalcioMercato, Manchester United can remedy their lack of creativity by making a move for Lokomotiv Moscow playmaker Aleksey Miranchuk in the January transfer market.
Miranchuk impressed a great deal for the Russian Premier League club in the Champions League especially against Juventus whom he scored two goals against over two matches.
He has scored nine goals and also provided four assists in 21 games for Lokomotiv Moscow this season in all competitions.
