Manchester United have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Barcelona defender Marcos Alonso in the final week of the transfer market as they frantically search for left-back cover before the window closes. Injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have forced Erik ten Hag back into the market with the United boss desperate to find cover. Free agent Ryan Bertrand was considered, alongside loans for the likes of Alonso, Marc Cucurella and Sergio Reguilon of Chelsea and Tottenham respectively. Reports have suggested that United have been offered the chance to sign Alonso, who could seal a return to the Premier League after spending six years at Stamford Bridge before leaving for Barcelona in 2022. However, it appears that Alonso will not be heading to Old Trafford and is happy in La Liga.
