Thiago has often been linked with a move to United

It seems that every year, there is a story linking Thiago with a move to Manchester United. Ever since his time at Barcelona, he is a player United have allegedly had their eye on, and this could finally be the summer that the move happens.

He has spent five years with Bayern Munich, but that time has been hampered with injuries, and he may feel that it is time for him to move on for a new challenge.

He is considered one of the top midfielders in the world and was an important player for Spain at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

He is very much a man in the Pep Guardiola mould, so he keeps the ball exceptionally well, and is capable of finding the right pass. He wouldn’t come cheap, and he may have to adapt his game slightly to suit Mourinho, as he likes his midfielders to be able to track back and do their defensive duties.
