Transfer: Man Utd in shock move to sign Alonso

Manchester United are considering a shock move for Barcelona defender Marcos Alonso as they seek to bring in an emergency option at left-back position.

Man United hope to bring in a new left-back before next week’s transfer deadline after losing two of their players Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw to injury.

Shaw is expected to be out until November while Malacia is still sidelined.

Inquiries have been made over the availability of Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella and Tottemham’s Sergio Reguilon.

But according to the Daily Telegraph, the Red Devils have also asked about Alonso.

Alonso had played for Man United’s Premier League rival Chelsea.

The 32-year-old left Chelsea last summer to join Barcelona, starting 11 La Liga matches in their title-winning campaign last term.
