Manchester United supporters would love to sign Russian international midfielder Aleksandr Golovin, after he impressed on the opening day of the World Cup.

The 22-year-old destroyed Saudi Arabia with two assists and a goal, netting a sumptuous free-kick in the closing moments of the game to put the cherry on top of a 5-0 victory.

The hosts are now well placed to qualify for the knockout stages, kicking off the summer tournament with a moral boosting win in front a sold out home crowd.

Golovin plays his club football for CSKA Moscow, but if Man United fans have their way, he'll be lighting up the English Premier League next season.

Many believe he could be a perfect midfield replacement for the likes of Juan Mata and Marouane Fellaini, craving more creativity and attacking guile in Jose Mourinho's starting eleven after the summer break.

Does he have the quality to make an impact at Old Trafford?
