Rumour: Manchester United lodge £30 million bid for Koke

Atletico Madrid star Koke

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United have tabled a £30 million bid for Atletico Madrid star Koke.

This comes following speculation of Koke being heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford this January. David Moyes was seen at the Vincente Calderon earlier this season, said to be scouting the young sensation.

The 21-year old has been brilliant for his side this season, raking in an impressive 8 assists in 17 appearances, second only to Cesc Fabregas in the La Liga. The Spanish international has only 18 months left on his contract, and the Red Devils are ready to pounce on the player.

David Moyes is starting to gain momentum in the Premier League with four wins on the trot. However, their midfield has been a let down, with summer recruit Maruone Fellaini yet to impress. Tom Cleverly has been rather erratic, while Micheal Carrick, who has been their only saving grace this season, is nursing himself back from injury.

Koke could be the perfect answer to the lack of creativity and attacking flair at Old Trafford. With David Moyes desperate to achieve at least Champions League football this season, the Atletico midfielder could be the ideal signing.
