Yes. I guess it's up to the recipient how to interpret his sentence.Wasn't the quote something like "we plan with him for next season, but we have many midfielders"?

Thought Thiago looked pretty good when comming on for Spain today. Ronaldo did a madness not so long after he came on, so no one will mention his performance. Looked incredibly comfortable on the ball, glides past players and not fazed by any pressure. I'd really push to have him at United.
Thiago would have been a no-brainer had we not already signed Fred. Still wouldn't mind us going for him though.
Yeah, it's a shame we don't seem to have considered him at all. It's a massive step up for Fred, so signing someone else who's more likely to settle straight away wouldn't be a bad idea. Thiago seems like he can play as a DLP or traditional #8 as well, so he'd be a good fit for a future midfield without Matic, regardless of which positon Fred ends up being used in (I feel there's a slight chance he could become a DM).Thiago is a ready made player and would be far better than SMS. I think 50m would be good enough to price him away from Bayern. We can then spend money on getting Sandro and a RW like Bale.
Thiago, Bale and Sandro would easily improve the team
Thiago would be an absolute dream buy.

We've already spent about £60m though, so if we signed Sandro and him for like £50m each, I'm not sure there'd be enough funds for a big player at RW unless Martial leaves. Though it doesn't seem like there any big players available for that position anyway.
If not Bale, United should go in for Pulisic as a RW.
Pulisic/ Thiago/ Sandro would be immense as well.
Martial --- Lukaku --- Ronaldo
--- Pogba ---------- Fred -----
----------- Thiago ------------
Sandro ----------------Dalot/Bailly
------ Smalling ---- Skriniar ------
They'd have the 2 best midfields, or nearly so.I hope we sign Thiago ''Nos vemos en Manchester" Alcantara... We need his quality in our midfield.
I read that Lopetegui could be interested in him. If Madrid sign him, Thiago, Isco, Modric, Kroos, Casemiro, Asensio, Kovacic they would have the best midfield....
