With Paul Pogba having impressed since his return to the Manchester United  midfield, it appears that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer now has a perfect blend of options in the centre of the pitch.


However, if reports are to be believed, the Premier League giants are considering an approach for Thiago Alcantara, who has just a year remaining on his Bayern Munich contract.

Despite the Spaniard being a first-team regular at the Allianz Arena, there has been several indications that Bayern do not want to risk losing the playmaker on a free transfer next summer.

Although Liverpool are said to be the favourites for the former Barcelona's man signature, United may prove to be an attractive option if they qualify for next season's Champions League.

While Pogba has linked up effectively with Bruno Fernandes in recent weeks, there would be question marks over where the arrival of Thiago would leave the World Cup winner in the pecking order.

Either Scott McTominay or Nemanja Matic, fresh off signing a new contract, would be preferred over Pogba, putting the Frenchman in a direct scrap with Thiago for the final spot.

Nevertheless, everything points to Solskjaer putting together tactics.
