Famous quote from Guardiola
"Thiago is the only player I want, that's what I told them. It'll be him or no one."
If anyone watches the Bundesliga, they would have noticed that Bayern Munich's slump/ collapse came about after Thiago suffered a potential season ending injury a week before they played against utd and that injury has flared up again thereby keeping him out of the world cup.
This is the only player Guardiola wanted to sign for Bayern and he played in almost every game he was available for while the likes of Kroos, Schweinsteiger, Muller and Gotze were rotated and played in different positions and Thiago was the player that controlled the tempo of the game for Bayern all Season long as they blew away all opposition before his injury came about. He was clearly their most influential midfielder on the pitch.
If it is true that Giggs vetoed this signing then I question everything he knows about football management and he will have a lot to learn under Van Gaal.
Thiago is a player that would have easily been utd's best midfielder last season as he is miles better than any they have at the club and by that reckoning Giggs should not be allowed to help recommend any new signings, he should only be in the welcoming committee after a player has already signed
