Since Manchester United announced the injury to Luke Shaw, the English media has been reporting on a little panic from the Red Devils to find a replacement for him.
With Tyrell Malacia also out of action, Erik ten Hag was forced to use Diogo Dalot as left-back in Saturday’s match against Nottingham Forest.
Now that Barcelona’s Marcos Alonso has been presented as Manchester United’s new target, we see some interesting information being reported, starting with Bild’s Christian Falk.
The German journalist claims it’s ‘true’ that the Red Devils made an approach to get the Spaniard signed from the Camp Nou side.
The Spanish media, meanwhile, is still to confirm that the Red Devils are going for the 32-year-old, but Mundo Deportivo bring an interesting line about it.
Following claims that Manchester United are interested in a short-term loan spell until January, the outlet writes this possibility actually ‘could fit’ with Barcelona’s plans.
It’s said that even though such an operation would sound unusual, it would make sense for the Camp Nou side to get rid of the player’s salary until the winter, as that would give them more freedom regarding La Liga’s financial rules.
