Lies. Moyes wanted him to be his first signing we bid for him but once Pep was interested he chose Bayern instead

Wrong.

Fergie and his scouts were tracking him all season and lined him up after spending the whole u21s watching him. Moyes didnt bid tho as he felt Thiago wouldnt cut it in the prem and instead shifted his focus to Cesc Fabregas, United was Thiagos preferred destination too as man wanted to link up with De Gea.

As reported by BBC Radio 5 Live’s Ian McGarry, the now deposed former Everton manager was keen on signing the then Barcelona playmaker last year but wanted to canvas the opinions of his coaching staff before finalising an approach for the player.

Having already sought the opinions of those in his backroom team who had followed him over from Goodison Park, the manager turned to Giggs for his input. Unfortunately, his take on Thiago flew directly in the face of the positive enthusiasm of the manager’s inner circle.

“When he got to Giggsy, who was last, [Giggs] said, ‘Not a Manchester United player.’ And Moyes said, ‘Sorry I don’t know what you mean by that.’ [Giggs] looked at Phil Neville.”

“Phil sort of nodded, and said, ‘Look, playing for this club is more than being a footballer. It’s about your attitude. It’s about your mindset. It’s about everything that you want, everything in your body, every cell, has to want to live, play and win for Manchester United. I don’t think he’s a Manchester United player.’ And they immediately called off the transfer.”

Giggs was clueless, Phil was a sideman and Moyes was an indecisive, spineless c*nt.
