Man Utd continue to be linked with a number of players this transfer window and an ex-Barcelona player could be on their radar.
Erik ten Hag struggled with injuries in defense last season with the manager almost going through the entire season without a left-back.
This season, the Red Devils have yet again started the campaign without a natural left-back with both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia still injured. Ten Hag has used Lisandro Martinez and Diogo Dalot in this position so far.
Could Man Utd be about to purchase a cheap, experienced option for the left-back role? Ex-Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso who is currently a free agent on the market following the expiration of his contract with Barcelona could move to Old Trafford.
Speaking to Give Me Sport, here is what journalist Ben Jacobs had to say about Man Utd’s potential move for the Spanish veteran:
“It’s possible at the moment, nothing is advanced, but what’s true is that Manchester United have discussed Alonso internally, and from Alonso’s point of view, it’s been made clear from the player camp that he’d be interested to have a conversation with Manchester United.”
