The Manchester United fans here in the Tavern will be determined to see their club bounce back and close the gap on rivals City next season, with a summer of big spending expected at Old Trafford.
Manager Jose Mourinho will be keen to make some big additions to his squad in terms of quality, and has already started the process, with the big money signing of Brazilian midfielder Fred the most notable capture thus far.
Here in the Tavern, our punters would like to see the Red Devils go out and get some real proven quality, and one such man is Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago.
Valued at £54m by Transfermarkt, the midfielder is a genuinely world class midfield player, and has been hugely important to the success of the German club over the last few seasons.
Always a player who is highly valued by managers, Thiago is the sort of player who is able to control the pace of the games and lead his teammates from the middle of the park.
While he might not get in and among the goals as much as he might like, he is simply a world class operator. Trusted by both Spain and his club in terms of running the midifeld, he would slot in nicely either next too, or as replacement for the enigmatic Paul Pogba at United.
Blues fans, what do you think? Good signing? Let us know in the comments!
