Kieran Trippier still wants to join Manchester United
By db-admin
DBasia.news – Kieran Trippier seems to be still trying to leave Atletico Madrid in the transfer window this summer. Manchester United became the destination he wanted.
Trippier’s career with Atletico actually went smoothly. He was even able to present the LaLiga title in his second season with Los Rojiblancos.
However, this condition could not cover Trippier’s longing for his hometown. The charm of the Premier League is too valuable to pass up.
Rumors of Manchester United’s interest in Trippier have been widely heard since the last few weeks. The presence of the former Tottenham Hotspur player is needed to become a competitor to Aaron Wan-Bissaka at right-back position.
According to a Manchester Evening News report, Trippier hopes Manchester United will take definite steps to sign him. He was even ready to wait until the last day of the transfer market.
Atletico are believed to not be hindering Trippier’s departure. In the condition that Manchester United provides an appropriate offer.
Trippier’s official tag is now predicted to reach 40 million euros. A hefty amount.
Manchester United will think twice about redeeming Trippier from Atletico. Moreover, the Red Devils’ transfer funds have run out after bringing in Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane.
Wan-Bissaka’s competitor
The arrival of Trippier will make the competition at Manchester United’s right-back position more fierce. Wan-Bissaka had almost no competitors throughout last season.
However, the 23-year-old player’s performance has been inconsistent. Wan-Bissaka was able to appear like an impenetrable wall, but he often made blunders.
Solskjaer wants to repeat his success when he brought in Alex Telles last season. The arrival of the Brazilian left-back was able to make Luke Shaw show maximum quality as he has competitors.
