Thiago Alcantara

“Sign a Midfielder” – This has been the suggestion at Old Trafford ever since Paul Scholes retired the first time. Michael Carrick was exceptionally good but expecting him to be that good for a second season in a row is too much. Let us face it – Michael Carrick is not Paul Scholes.
