So, it looks like The Chosen One is lost, and Thiago Alcantara will not be signing for Manchester United.
Who next then? The Daily Express has a theory, and it goes by the name of Antonio Candreva, the Lazio midfielder.
The paper claims: 'Napoli are set to rival United for Candreva, 26, while City and Spurs have also been linked with the attacking midfielder.
'Moyes could also be tempted to persuade former Tottenham favourite Luka Modric to leave Real Madrid, but the Croatian may wish to stay at the club following Carlo Ancelotti's arrival.
'United's chances of signing Modric are less likely than bringing in Candreva, who has 11 caps for the Italian national side.'
I'd be happy with Modric.
Never heard of Candreva.
