Manchester United duo wish Thiago Alcantara well

Manchester United's Juan Mata and Ander Herrera have wished their fellow Spaniard Thiago Alcantara well on his recovery from a ligament injury.

The midfielder recently returned to training following a seven-month layoff with an ankle problem, but Bayern Munich have now confirmed that the 23-year-old has suffered another setback that requires surgery.
