BR - Manchester United fans are used to transfer window sagas. This year's target appears to be Barcelona and Spanish U-21 midfielder Thiago Alcantara, an individual David Moyes tried to sign whilst manager of Everton (as reported by The Daily Mirror).
Despite The Daily Mail suggesting United have agreed to sign the highly-rated player in a deal worth up to £5.5 million per year, the Old Trafford faithful are still awaiting confirmation on what would be an excellent acquisition. Barcelona know they will be letting a future star leave for £17 million—a smidgen of the price he is worth—and will do everything they can to stop him leaving the Camp Nou.
