The "Manchester United" club continues to show interest in Barcelona's midfielder Thiago Alcantara, whose future in the Catalan team is still unclear.

According to reports, the father of the 22-year-old footballer has met with club president Sandro Rosell to discuss his son's prospects at Barca.

There have been reports in the English press that "Man Utd" is willing to pay 18 million euros for the young midfielder.

Thiago is particularly desired in the "Red Devils" team by the new coach David Moyes, for whom this purchase would be crucial this summer.

The Spaniard joined the main squad of Barcelona in 2009. During this time, the footballer has played 100 matches and scored 11 goals.
