In a summer transfer window that has continually seen shock transfers, Marcos Alonso is the latest name linked to Manchester United. The Barcelona defender has been mentioned as one of the options for the Premier League club.

Luke Shaw sustained an injury that would keep him on the sidelines, causing Man United to sweat over the competitiveness of the defense in the absence of the Englishman.

Aside from Marcos Alonso as a probable solution to Luke Shaw’s absence, Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella and Sergio Reguilón have been mentioned in the press.

A piece of concrete information from 90Min via Fichajes.com reveals Man United is studying Marcos Alonso as a candidate to reinforce the team.

Although there have been no direct talks over a transfer to Old Trafford, the Spaniard could be a good fit for the Premier League giants.

The 32-year-old’s contract with Barcelona ends in the summer of 2024. Fichajes suggested Barcelona could offer Alonso to Man United for a short term, probably until January 2024.
