Player could reject move to Manchester United at the last minute – Not thrilled about move to Old Trafford

On Monday, Sport stated Barcelona have received a formal offer from Manchester United to sign Marcos Alonso on a loan deal.

Later that day, Marca reported the Red Devils want to take the left-back on loan and then offer him a one-year deal, when his contract at the Camp Nou expires in 2024.

The latest report from Marca today relays that and then provides an update.

It’s claimed the 32-year-old isn’t thrilled about joining Manchester United and wants to continue at Barca to fulfil the contract he signed at the start of this year.

The Spaniard is aware Alejandro Balde is ahead of him in the pecking order but believes he can have more game time following Jordi Alba’s departure.

Marca say Erik ten Hag’s side made a formal offer on Monday but the former Chelsea man doesn’t want to join Manchester United ‘right now’. His desire is to stay at Barca but the newspaper warns his continuity can’t be taken for granted.

Luke Shaw has joined Tyrell Malacia in Carrington’s treatment room, leaving Manchester United to look for a new left-back late in the window.

Alonso could reject the English club at the last minute as his desire is to stay at Barca, and this would force the Red Devils to look at other options in the market.
