Atletico Madrid defender Kieran Trippier is keen on a move to Manchester United this summer, and he is pushing for an exit from the Spanish club.
The 30-year-old England international has helped Diego Simeone‘s side win the Spanish league title this past season, but he is now keen on returning to the Premier League.
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen on adding more depth to his full-back positions, and he has identified Trippier as the ideal candidate.
There is no doubt that the Red Devils need to bring in a quality right-back who can challenge Aaron Wan-Bissaka for the starting berth, and Trippier certainly fits the bill.
The former Tottenham right-back is excellent going forward, and he is reliable at the back as well.
Wan-Bissaka has had a mixed time at Old Trafford since he arrived from Crystal Palace. The youngster has looked reliable defensively, but he has been quite mediocre going forward, and Manchester United need someone with a more balanced skill set.
Trippier has enough experience, and he knows the Premier League well from his time at Tottenham.
The England international is at the peak of his powers right now, and he could make an immediate impact at Old Trafford next season.
The defender has two years remaining on his current contract with the Spanish club, and he has a release clause of £34 million.
It will be interesting to see if the Red Devils are willing to pay up for services in the coming weeks now.
