Manchester United Consider Brentford’s Igor Thiago as Zirkzee Exit Looms

1 / 3

Manchester United are considering Brentford striker Igor Thiago as they assess options to replace Joshua Zirkzee this summer. Zirkzee joined United from Bologna for about £36.5 million two years ago but has scored nine goals in 75 appearances. He reportedly featured less after Michael Carrick’s appointment, with Italian clubs monitoring a possible return to Serie A. Thiago is said to have been discussed internally after scoring 22 league goals in 38 appearances during the 2025-26 season. The 25-year-old Brazilian recently signed a Brentford contract until 2031, so any potential deal would likely be difficult.
