MANCHESTER UNITED are odds-on favourites to sign Jordi Alba from Barcelona.
Manchester United are evens to sign Jordi Alba
Jose Mourinho is set to be given the funds to further bolster his Manchester United squad this summer to challenge on all fronts next year.
United have had troubles in the left-back position all season, with Mourinho publicly slating Luke Shaw last week by questioning his commitment, focus and ambition.
And Mourinho has eyed Barcelona defender Alba as the man to fill United's defensive woes.
Alba has been left out of some key games for Barcelona this season
It was reported yesterday that the Spain international had spoken with United and Chelsea players about the possibility of a move to the Premier League.
Alba has been left out of key games for Barcelona this season, including Champions League matches against Paris Saint-Germain and last night's loss to Juventus.
And bookmakers Ladbrokes have United at evens to bring Alba to Old Trafford.
Chelsea are next favourites at 5/2 while Arsenal are also in the hunt for a new left-back and are 4/1 to sign Alba.

Manchester United: Evens

Arsenal: 4/1
Real Madrid: 7/1
Manchester City: 8/1
Bayern Munich: 9/1
Tottenham: 10/1
