Man Utd Transfers: 5 Creative Midfielders Red Devils Should Target In January

2. Gonzalo Castro

We now turn our attentions to the Bundesliga in search of a potential option for Moyes in the shape of Gonzalo Castro. Castro plays for Bayer Leverkusen where he also emerged from their youth system, and also made five appearances for the German national side in 2007 €“ but hasn€™t featured for them since then. Castro€™s key stats this season is an average rating of 7.44, two goals and seven assists. It is that sort of form that will surely tempt United to make a move for him next month. Leverkusen are also enjoying a very good season in the Bundesliga where they are current second in the league behind Bayern Munich. United are fortunate in many ways that they have Wayne Rooney around the place that is such a superb creative force despite not being a central midfielder by trade €“ but if Moyes could find another creative option that could make a big difference for the rest of the season. Castro certainly seems to fit the bill, and it will be interesting to see if he will get recalled by Germany in time for the World Cup next summer.
