Thiago Alcantara to Manchester United from Barcelona for £15.4

One of the rising stars of Spanish football has already agreed terms with the Premier League champions and is prepared to give notice of his decision to leave the club he joined at 14 in imminent talks with Barca officials.

 Sources have said that United are confident of completing a £15.4 million deal for the 22-year-old despite late interest from Bayern Munich.

It is believed that Barcelona have privately given up hope of persuading the graduate of the club’s famous La Masia academy to stay despite giving him assurances that he will have a bigger first-team role in coming years.

Thiago, who scored a hat-trick for Spain in the recent European Under-21 Championship final against Italy, feels there are too many marquee players blocking his path to a regular senior role at Camp Nou.

The attacking midfielder has gone on holiday, leaving his representatives and father, the former Brazil World Cup winner Mazinho, to tell Barcelona that he wants to leave.

Thiago has a contract that runs until 2015 but his exit clause plummeted from €90 million (£76.9m) to €18m (£15.4m) after he failed to participate for a stipulated amount of minutes in the 2012-13 season. The buy-out clause is due to return to €90m on August 1.

United are ready to take advantage of the relatively low clause to make Thiago the first major signing for new manager David Moyes, who officially takes over at Old Trafford on Monday.

Nigeria V Uruguay predict and win Recharge Cards

African champions Nigeria will wrap up a spot in the Confederations Cup semi-finals next week with victory over Uruguay tomorrow.

La Celeste should provide sterner opposition than Tahiti, who made Nigeria's task even easier than anticipated in the 6-1 win.

Meanwhile, Luis Suarez's stunning 88th-minute free-kick was mere consolation for Uruguay as they were outclassed in their 2-1 defeat to Spain on Sunday, with the world and European champions claiming 71 per cent of possession.

Coach Oscar Tabarez is expected to name an unchanged side, which he believes will fare better against the Super Eagles.

``If Spain thrashed Italy and Germany, why should they not beat Uruguay? They are a team that imposes their conditions and are playing in a tournament that they have unfinished business with,'' he said.

``The next match, against Nigeria, is the most important of all, if we win then I think we have a chance of being in the semi-finals.''

Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi may start Dynamo Kiev striker Brown Ideye after team-mates Anthony Ujah and Ahmed Musa struggled to convert chances against Tahiti.

Striker Nnamdi Oduamadi - who put four past the Polynesian island - is expected to keep his place, however.

In spite of his side's comfortable win last time out, Keshi knows they need to be more ruthless in front of goal.

``The performance I expected from the players was not what they gave. They did better than that against Mexico and Namibia and I expect them to even do more when they play Uruguay on Thursday,'' Keshi said.

``There are no (new) injuries to the players, because I have already lost four players (Victor Moses, Emmanuel Emenike, Ogenyi Onazi and Kalu Uche),'' he said.

Nigeria have only kept one clean sheet in their past five games, despite not having lost since May last year when Peru overcame the Africans 1-0 in Lima.
