Why
Manchester United should make a move for Jordi Alba
Jose
Mourinho should definitely capitalise on the situation and make a move for the
Spanish defender. Since making the move to the Camp Nou in 2012, Alba has gone
on to establish himself as one of the best left-backs in the world.
He
has won four La Liga titles, four Copa Del Rey titles and one Champions League.
Jose Mourinho should definitely make the move for the defender given the
situation at Old Trafford at the moment. Luka Shaw is currently their only
option at left-back, with Ashley Young deputising in that position last season.
Diogo Dalot is also available but he is yet to prove himself so far.
The
Red Devils have endured a torrid time at the back as well, conceding a total of
17 goals 10 league games this season. The acquisition of Jordi Alba should tighten
things up at the back. The Spanish full-back is known for his immense work rate
on and off the ball.
Alba
is capable of seamlessly surging up the field and tracking back without showing
any signs of fatigue. He is an electric full-back who likes to be in the thick
of the action. The 29-year-old also loves to get forward and support the attack.
The
Spaniard has made a total of 10 appearances in the La Liga this season, scoring
1 goal and providing 2 assists. He has also picked up 1 goal and 3 assists in 3
Champions League appearances for the Spanish champions. (Stats courtesy –Whoscored)
The
29-year-old is also an immaculate passer of the ball and rarely gives away
possession in dangerous areas. He has averaged a pass success rate of 87.8% in
the La Liga this season, while also averaging 89.7% in the Champions League.

Mourinho
must definitely ensure he signs the world-class left-back. Alba’s ability might
see many other clubs circle for his signature but it’s Manchester United who
are in dire need of a new left-back.
