United linked with shock £70m Alonso move

Manchester United are being linked with a shock £70 million move for Marcos Alonso this summer.

The Mirror claims that Jose Mourinho is keen to sign the Spaniard this summer, with the left-back position proving to be a problem area for the former Chelsea boss.

United are not the first team to express an interest in Alonso, with reports in Spain suggesting both Real Madrid and Barcelona are keeping tabs on the player.

Chelsea will be desperate to one not only sell to a direct rival but to also strengthen the hand of their former manager at Old Trafford.

Alonso has been a key figure at Chelsea since joining from Fiorentina in 2016.

The Spaniard was a surprise signing by the club but he has since played a key role in their success under Antonio Conte in the 3-4-3 system.

Luke Shaw has struggled to break into Jose Mourinho’s plans and has come in for criticism for his recent performances at Old Trafford.
