10 Assists, 5 Goals: Why Manchester United Need To Move For La Liga Midfielder Despite Snub

Manchester United are in desperate need of an attacking, creative player to gel their midfield to their attack. And though Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke ticks almost every box there is to tick, the Spaniard has ruled out a move to Old Trafford. TalkSPORT say that the 22-year-old wants to remain in the Spanish capital, much to the frustration of those affiliated to Madrid.

For me I think it's a huge loss, and I'll tell you why.

Koke can play almost anywhere in the midfield which would kill a couple of birds with one stone for United. They lack mobility in their midriff and are screaming for someone to come in and glue everything together.

Koke has played 27 La Liga games for Atleti this season and has been a huge reason as to why they're challenging for the title. He has so far claimed 10 assists and scored five himself, as well as another two assists in the Champions League.

He has averaged a pass success of 82% and averages 43 balls per game.

His crossing is strong, which is important in a David Moyes side, while he also offers a lot when it comes to set pieces. He has a huge future ahead of him, and if that's not at United I think they will regret it massively.
