According to Manchester evening News, England and Atletico Madrid full back Kieran Trippier is keen to joining Manchester United before this summers transfer window closure.
MEN revealed before the Euro 2020 started that the Fullback , 30, had made arrangements to permanently relocate to Manchester and that he is confident a transfer to the Red devils will materialise.
Kieran Trippier has entered the final year of his Spanish club deal and the club is under pressure to sell the England international this summer transfer window in order to obtain a fee.
Manchester United have already completed the signing of Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho and are currently working on a deal to recruit Raphael Varane but are eager to make a third signing of the summer.
The English international started in every of Atletico Madrid game he was available for last season as they won their first La Liga title in seven years and he was selected in England’s European Championship opener and the final. He has indicated that he has no intention of joining Manchester United just to provide back-up role for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, whose acquisition fee was £50million two years ago from London Club Crystal palace
Old Trafford coaching staff seem to be unsatisfied with Wan-Bissaka’s attacking skills and Kieran, who is a more proactive full-back, assisted Luke Shaw’s European Championship final opener against Italy.
Latest reports indicate that Italian club AS Roma have been linked with Telles, 28, as Jose Mourinho looks for a left-back to offset the long-term absence of Leonardo Spinazzola who injured his lingaments in the Euros, however Mourinho is understood to have not been consulted about any possible move for Telles.
Portuguese Right-back Diogo Dalot has already been informed to report for pre-season training at Manchester united later this month despite interest from AC Milan. Dalot, who made his senior Portugal debut at the Euros, impressed United boss Solskjaer on loan at Milan and could stay at the club if there is no breakthrough with Trippier.
Academy graduate Brandon Williams is warming up for a season-long loan and the addition of Kieran Trippier could also grant Alex Telles permission to leave, as Trippier is capable of playing at left-back.
