World's fastest man and Red devils nut Usain Bolt has pleaded with new Manchester United boss David Moyes to buy some creativity in the centre of the park, after their 1-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield.

According to metro.co.uk, United were well beaten at Anfield and created little in the way of clear-cut chances, and the midfield trio of Michael Carrick, Tom Cleverly and Ryan Giggs struggled to compete with Reds duo Steven Gerrard and Lucas.

The Jamaican posted a video message on his Instagram account, saying that he was a big Manchester United fan and urged the manager that the team needed a creative midfielder, one who could pass and create opportunities.

The club had a 25 million pound bid for Athletic Bilbao star Ander Herrera turned down on Friday and it remains to be seen whether United trigger his 31 million pound release clause off by going back in for the 24-year-old Spaniard, the report said.

If United did sign Herrera, Bolt would be a very happy man, the report added.
