- Brentford manager Keith Andrews described the 25-year-old as a 'top performer' after Thiago scored 25 goals in 40 appearances across all competitions last season.
- Securing Thiago this summer remains incredibly difficult, as the Brazilian signed a long-term contract at Brentford Community Stadium in February committing his future until 2031.
- If the striker delivers another superb season, his valuation will only soar further, potentially leading United to delay a formal move for the Bees star.
