According to The S*n, Manchester United are closing in on a deal for CSKA Moscow midfielder Aleksandr Golovin, whom Jose Mourinho reportedly regards as the ‘golden boy of Russian football’.
The United manager will ‘blow his rivals out the water’ if he lands Golovin’s signature, but Juan Mata could be the player to make way. Golovin rose through the youth ranks to the CSKA first-team in 2015 and has gone on to make 113 appearances in all competitions, scoring and creating 24 goals.
The 22-year-old is creative, has a good eye for goal and works hard off the ball to turnover possession.
