Barcelona’s Jordi Alba Set For Man. United

Manchester United are in the finishing stages of setting up a move for Barcelona star Jordi Alba.

Alba has a contract with Barcelona up until 2020, and with the club not offering up a new contract yet, United are looking to swoop in and sign the defender.

The Spaniard will be vying for a starting spot with Luke Shaw and Ashley Young. It is however unlikely that Barcelona will let their first choice right-back leave the club anytime soon.

United are currently looking to make more than one defensive reinforcement in January with Milan Skriniar and Alessandro Romagnoli also on the clubs radar.
