Manchester United have submitted a £30m bid as they accelerate their chase for Igor Thiago according to multiple reports on Friday. The Red Devils are said to be asking for day-to-day updates on the deal, with Michael Carrick’s recruitment team pushing to add firepower before the summer window shuts.
The move underlines United’s determination to reshape a forward line that lost Rasmus Højlund to Napoli earlier in the window. The Mirror reported that a £30m bid has landed and that United are monitoring the situation closely, while the Manchester Evening News says the club’s transfer chiefs have “put a call in” over a possible deal. Having finished third and returned to the Champions League, United know Carrick needs depth and goals up front for the demands ahead.
No fee has been confirmed by either club, and United have yet to comment publicly on the reported bid. As with any active window, supporters are urged to treat the figures as reported rather than official.
