Sam Allardyce has urged Manchester United to target Brentford striker Igor Thiago this summer, arguing that the Brazilian’s scoring output already proves he is the right answer for United’s attack. Allardyce said Thiago’s Premier League goal return should end the search for a striker. He pointed to Thiago’s strong season at Brentford and framed him as a simpler and smarter option than riskier alternatives.
