Man Utd urged to sign £30m Premier League striker Igor Thiago
Thiago's Impressive Season
Former England manager Sam Allardyce believes Manchester United should "look no further" than Brentford's Igor Thiago if they want to strengthen their attack in the summer transfer window. The Brazilian has enjoyed a prolific season for the Bees, and is locked in a battle for the Premier League Golden Boot with Manchester City's Erling Haaland.
Allardyce's Recommendation
Speaking on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, Allardyce made his position clear: "I mean, who’s going to buy Brentford's centre-forward, Igor Thiago? Manchester United need to look no further as far as I’m concerned. He’s hit the 20-goal mark, you don’t need to look any further. I thought they’d go for Jean-Philippe Mateta, but maybe with his age they thought better of it. But this Brazilian lad [Thiago], he’s scored 20 goals already and has got Brentford almost pushing for Europe."
- Igor Thiago has scored 20 goals this season.
- He is in a battle for the Premier League Golden Boot with Erling Haaland.
- Manchester United are urged to sign him by Sam Allardyce.
