Ex- Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand has admitted that Thiago Alcantara ‘wanted’ to sign for the Red Devils before he sealed his 2020 move to Liverpool.
The Spanish midfielder became a Red shortly after Bayern Munich’s Champions League victory, the Merseyside outfit sealing his services for a bargain fee of £20m.
Despite a slow start to life at Anfield, the former Barcelona midfielder has established himself as a key player in Jurgen Klopp ’s system. He has made 31 appearances in all competitions for the Reds this term so far - more than he made the entirety of the previous campaign.
