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

1. James Rodriguez

To round-up this list of top five targets we are travelling to France to see what€™s happening in Ligue 1 in the shape of James Rodriguez of Monaco. Rodriguez is another star to emerge from Columbia, and is very much a part of their international set-up with 20 caps won and three goals scored. From a domestic point of view, he is also a very important player for Monaco, Rodriguez€™s team currently sit second in Ligue 1 behind PSG €“ so will certainly be keen to hold onto their man. The player has been a regular in the team this season with an average rating of 7.53, three goals and seven assists. There is a complication here though, Rodriguez only signed for the French club in the summer for a transfer fee in the region of ‚45m. Now Monaco have certainly caught the imagination of many fans with some of the players they have been able to bring in, but the fact remains that they still play in a stadium that holds less than 20,000 people. On the other hand, Manchester United are a massive club in every sense of the word €“ so don€™t rule this one out completely.
