Mourinho urges Man Utd chiefs to spend big on Chelsea defender Alonso

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is eyeing another raid on former club Chelsea.

Mourinho ferried away Nemanja Matic from Stamford Bridge last summer and he is now set to move again for another of his former players.

Don Balon says Mourinho has asked United chiefs to swoop for Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso.

The Real Madrid academy product has forged a reputation as one of the Premier League's best attack-minded full-backs since his £24m return to England.

And it seems Mourinho's glowing reference has done enough to convince United that he's one of the players they need to return to the top.

It's claimed Mourinho believes United chiefs shouldn't blink if Chelsea demand in the region of €80m for Alonso.
