Marcos Alonso, who was linked with Manchester United last summer, remains eager to join the club before this summer’s transfer deadline, according to Fabrizio Romano.
“Marcos Alonso would love to go to Manchester United,” Romano told GiveMeSport. “He has been offered to Manchester United in recent weeks, but nothing concrete or advanced has developed so far.”
Romano added that Manchester United is likely to take its time before deciding on the player to fill the position, as the club is focusing on securing a new midfielder as the next priority in the transfer window.
Alonso, who made over 200 appearances for Chelsea, winning the Champions League and Europa League during his time at Stamford Bridge, was released by Barcelona after an injury-plagued 2023-24 season.
Manchester United has already strengthened Erik ten Hag’s squad this summer with the signings of Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui. Ten Hag confirmed in his pre-match press conference that De Ligt and Mazraoui are expected to make their debuts in the Premier League opener against Fulham on Friday night.
