“Chelsea Make Big Mistake Sold Him In 2022” – Now Regretting It, He Is Joining Manchester United
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Manchester United is reportedly considering the signing of former Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso, who currently plays for Barcelona. This potential move comes in response to a recent injury issue in Manchester United’s squad, prompting them to assess their options for a left-back.
After leaving Chelsea last summer, Alonso joined Barcelona, where he experienced success as they were crowned champions of Spain. However, his time at Barcelona has been mixed, with criticism directed at his defensive performances, especially in European competitions where the team faced early exits.
Alonso, who primarily excelled as an attacking force during his time at Chelsea, occasionally played as a center-back at Barcelona, a role that differs significantly from his previous positions.
Currently out of favor at Barcelona, Alonso has caught the attention of Premier League side Manchester United, who are in need of a left-back. This need was exacerbated by the recent news of Luke Shaw’s injury, which is expected to sideline him for a period.
Manchester United was previously linked with Marc Cucurella as a solution for their left-back position. Cucurella has yet to feature in Mauricio Pochettino’s side in a competitive match this season and struggled for minutes during the preseason tour of the United States. The emergence of Ian Maatsen as a viable option has further limited Cucurella’s chances. While Ben Chilwell is the clear number one left-back at the club, Maatsen has made a case to be part of the squad, potentially reducing Cucurella’s role.
