Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez continued his impressive run of form with a stunning goal for his side against Newcastle United at St James' Park on Saturday, and Manchester United fans have urged their club to move for the Algerian.

The Daily Star reported in September that Jose Mourinho wanted to add the 26-year-old to his squad in the summer after failing to bring Inter Milan's Ivan Perisic to Old Trafford, but a move never materialised before the transfer window slammed shut at the end of August.

Mahrez has gone on to score five goals and provide a further five assists in 17 appearances in all competitions for the Foxes this term, as he looks to replicate the form that saw him win the PFA Player of the Year award at the end of the 2015/16 campaign.

Man United supporters were quick to have their say on the wide-man's brilliant strike via social media, and while one simply said "sign Mahrez in January", another described him as "better than Mata".

Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
