Manchester United are exploring their options for left-backs following the injury to Luke Shaw, which has ruled out the defender for an extended period of time.
Alvaro Fernandez featured for the Red Devils during the pre-season at left-back and manager Erik ten Hag put in Diogo Dalot for his side's comeback on Saturday against Nottingham Forest.
However, there are reports that the club are looking to bring someone in before the window closes on September 1st. 'Mundo Deportivo' points to Barcelona defender Marco Alonso, with Chelsea's Marc Cucurella also on the shortlist for replacements.
'The Athletic' reports that informal talks have already been held between the two Premier League sides regarding a loan move for the 25-year-old, who has yet to see any time on the pitch this season.
The Spaniard has been an unused substitute in all three games of 2023-24 under Mauricio Pochettino, but made 33 appearances for the Blues last season following his move from Brighton.
