Manchester United have been dealt a major blow in their quest to sign Alex Grimaldo. The Red Devils have been tracking the former Barcelona youngster in their quest to sign a new left back, but may have lost out to SS Napoli. According to reports in Portugal and Italy, the Italian Serie A leaders have stolen a match on United and have agreed to sign Grimaldo for £27 million.
