After signing a deal to sign Raphael Varane, reports suggest that Man Utd is focused on upgrading their midfield and right-back positions.
As for the RB position, the England international and Atletico Madrid star Kieran Trippier has been heavily linked to a move to Old Trafford.
According to Manchester Evening News (press image below), the Three Lions star is hoping to join Man Utd before next month’s transfer deadline .
The prestigious news agency has mentioned that the family of the former Tottenham Hotspur defender has already returned to Manchester.
In the report, MEN said the 30-year-old would be out of the contract in less than a year will be, but it is not. In May he signed an extension until 2023.
Trippier was a regular under Diego Simeone last season and played a key role in the Rojiblancos winning the La Liga title for the first time since 2014. In addition, the experienced full-back also impressed at the European Championship for England. He prepared the opening goal for Shaw in the final.
So the Spanish side wouldn’t let him go cheap. As for asking prices, Catalan source Mundo Deportivo reported earlier this month that it would take at least € 30m (£ 25.5m) to lure the ex-Burnley player.
Should Man Utd share your thoughts after paying £ 25.5m to sign Kieran Trippier? According to The Telegraph, the Red Devils must sell before they can bid.
