Ilkay Gundogan: Alternative midfield
target for Moyes?
Thiago Alcantara's decision to join
Bayern Munich can hardly be criticised.
From the moment Pep Guardiola stated that
the youngster was the only player he
desired this summer, United's chances of
signing the Barca man plummeted.
With the lure of the European champions
unsurprisingly too strong, the Spaniard's
decision to swap La Liga for the
Bundesliga served as another blow to the
Premier League. The likes of Radamel
Falcao, Edinson Cavani and David Villa
are just a few to have snubbed heavy
interest from England this summer, and
Thiago has now turned his back on the
best the Premier League has to offer.
It's left United and new manager Moyes
without the midfield addition that the
fans have been crying out for for years,
with the likes of Ryan Giggs and Paul
Scholes consistently called upon to
extend the shelf life of your average
footballer. Many have been pleading for
the next big thing to come along and take
the torch, and now that Thiago has been
ruled out, the Red Devils' wait
continues.
