Alternate Manchester United XI Mourinho could've built with the money he has spent

Manchester United v Crystal Palace - Premier League
The former Atletico shotstopper has been at his imperious best this season

LB: Marcos Alonso (£23 million to Chelsea)

Chelsea v Middlesbrough - Premier League
The best left back in the Premier League right now

Alonso was never linked with United in the first place. In fact, very few even knew much about the Spanish left-back before he signed for Chelsea for £23 million.

Fans were skeptical at first about spending so much on a relatively unknown entity, but Alonso has been a revelation for the Blues.

While his playing style might not evoke comparisons to attack-minded left-backs like Marcelo and Jordi Alba, his statistics reveal that he is one of the best goalscoring defenders in Europe right now.

With 6 goals and 1 assist, Alonso has already established himself as one of the best bargains over the last couple of years. With Mourinho and United still being linked to the likes of Danny Rose and Ryan Sessegnon to fill the problematic left back position, it looks like he could have solved a major headache for himself by signing Alonso.
