Manchester United favourites to sign Thiago Alcantara

Manchester United favourites to sign Thiago Alcantara

19 June 2013 - 00:20

The Red Devils have emerged as favourites to capture the signing of Barcelona’s Spanish wonderkid Thiago Alcantara. The new Red Devils boss David Moyes has been a long-term admirer of the starlet and yet knew he was out of reach at his former club Everton.

  • Everton make bid for Oleksandr Zinchenko
  • Marseille table bid for Chelsea defender

  • Manchester United have been monitoring Alcantara for the past three years. They could now setup an irresistible offer for a player who has been frustrated by a lack of first team football. According to various sources, United are willing to offer Barca £15million in a bid to see off their arch rivals Manchester City.



    Thiago proved his potential by bagging an excellent first half hat-trick against Italy in Spain’s 4-2 triumph to win the European U-21 Championships last night.



    The Spanish U-21’s skipper headed a sixth-minute opener, blasted home a 31st-minute second and slotted a 38th-minute penalty in Israel.
