Marcos Alonso turns down offer from Manchester United

Marcos Alonso has turned down a two-year deal from Manchester United, meaning he will stay at Barcelona for at least another year.

The Red Devils are in emergency search of a left-back after the news Luke Shaw will be sidelined for several months with muscle injury and Alonso has emerged as one of the candidates.

Reports suggest that United approached Barcelona and offered a loan bid for the left-back, but the 32-year-old has chosen to stay with the Catalan giants.

The 32-year-old is happy at Blaugrana despite not being first choice.
