Manchester United transfer target Thiago Alcantara showed just why he is so coveted.
Barcelona's Thiago Alcantara is widely reported to be available for just €18 million this summer due to a clause in his contract.
Manchester United are said to be interested in activating it, and will certainly have taken note of his performance this evening for Spain's under-21 side.
He lined up alongside David de Gea in the team for their opening game against Russia, and played a key role in their opener.
In a dominant performance in which he completed 93 per cent of his passes, one of them was clocked up when he took the free-kick for Spain's winner.
The goal came late on in the 82nd minute, headed home by Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata to land Spain a 1-0 victory.
