Barcelona midfielder Thiago Alcantara has laughed off a call from David De Gea urging him to move to Manchester United.

De Gea said he would like his Spain Under-21 team-mate to sign on at Old Trafford - but coy Thiago brushed off the comments.

The Spaniard said: "All players want the best players in their team.

"I could say I hope that he comes to Barca in the same way he says things about me.

"I just think he was having a bit of fun and not too much should be read into it."
