The midfielder has astonishingly scored eight goals in his last 10 league games to announce himself as one of the continent's most sought-after midfield stars.

Goals from Harry Maguire, Bruno Fernandes, Fred and Anthony Elanga gave the Red Devils a much-needed win in their hunt for Champions League qualification.
But Rangnick says his side could have scored four by the interval.
"It took us some 10 or 15 minutes to get into the game. I think the last half-hour before half-time we did great, we put them under pressure, we forced them into their half, the whole first-half took place in their half. We were 2-0 up, it could've been 3-0 up, 4-0 up," he said after the game.
