Manchester United are ready to refresh their squad this summer as their transfer shortlist includes up to eight big-name signings.

The Blaugrana want the 31-year-old to improve their defensive options and he could be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge this summer. Alonso would add plenty of experience to the squad and even an attacking threat. The Mail report that Barca have already agreed to sign centre-back Andreas Christensen as a free agent this summer, while the club have made an offer to Chelsea’s club captain Cesar Azpilicueta. The report reveals that Blues left-back Marcos Alonso is hoping to return to Spain and join Barcelona too. Despite all of that, Raphinha would be a great signing for Barcelona – and he could be available for a cut-price fee if Leeds do end up getting relegated. Leeds currently sit in 18th place and are in the relegation zone after a disappointing defeat at Arsenal on Sunday. It’s more about the personalities not gelling and the underperformers needing a new start elsewhere.

United have made moves to clear the deck ahead of Ten Hag's arrival by axing a number of off-field personnel, but the deep-rooted issues that Mourinho alluded to could take years to resolve. Speaking back in 2019, he told BeIN SPORTS: ""If I tell you, for example, that I consider one of the best jobs of my career was to finish second with Man United in the Premier League, you will say, 'this guy is crazy.' He won 25 titles and he is saying that a second position was one of his best achievements? Mourinho has one of the most impressive resumes in football - but even he was unable to restore United's fortunes.
