Thiago Alcantara's sublime highlights from Liverpool 4-0 Man Utd

It’s taken a little while, but Thiago Alcantara is now taking English football by storm.

The Spaniard’s first season at Liverpool after signing from Bayern Munich was sadly blighted by injuries.

Many football fans were actually starting to label Thiago as a ‘flop’, which now looks beyond ridiculous.

Since the turn of the year, the La Masia graduate has been in supreme form and he is a key reason why Liverpool are chasing an unprecedented quadruple.

Thiago was the best player on the pitch in the FA Cup semi-final victory over Manchester City and he repeated the feat against Manchester United on Tuesday in the Premier League.

The 31-year-old dropped a midfield clinic at Anfield that almost had Liverpool’s fierce rivals begging for mercy in their 4-0 defeat.

Thiago was absolutely everywhere and some of his disguised line-breaking passes from deep were outrageously good.

His performance also featured a plethora silky dribbles and some determined defensive work.

It was everything you could want from a midfielder and more.

But words can only go so far with regards to Thiago’s performance against United and visual evidence is also required.

So, sit back, relax and marvel at the maestro’s outrageous individual highlights from yet another memorable evening under the lights at Anfield.

It’s crazy to think that a player that good only cost Liverpool £25
