Barcelona may be willing to facilitate a half-season loan move for Marcos Alonso.

The Catalan giants are in financial difficulty due to debts and La Liga registration rules.

Per Mundo Deportivo, while Alonso wants to stay at Barca, the club may have other ideas.

Manchester United have put him on a shortlist of left-backs they want to sign this summer.

United are without both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia to relatively long-term injuries.

Alonso moving to United would help Barca, but the club also has other options in Marc Cucurella and Ryan Bertrand.
