Manchester United is keen on Barcelona left-back Jordi Alba, according to ESPN.

However, both parties are aware that it would be difficult to complete a deal this summer.

Alba is looking forward to working with Ernesto Valverde and wants to give himself a chance to play under the former Athletico Bilbao boss.

United are focused on attaining a striker, but they've listed left back as a position that needs to be looked at.
