Manchester United has
emerged as favorites to sign Barcelona’s Spanish wonderkid Thiago Alcantara.
New Red Devils boss David Moyes has been a long-term admirer of
the midfielder, 22, yet knew he was out of reach of former club Everton.
But the Premier League champions have also tracked Thiago for
the past three years.
And they could now prove an irresistible draw for a player who
has been frustrated by a lack of first-team action at Barca.
United are willing to offer Barca £15million in a bid to see off
rivals Manchester City.
Thiago underlined his potential by bagging a first-half
hat-trick in Spain’s 4-2 triumph over Italy to win the European Under-21
Championships last night.
The Spanish skipper headed a sixth-minute opener, blasted home a
31st-minute second and slotted a 38th-minute penalty in Israel.
