According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United target Jeremie Frimpong is eager to join the Red Devils in the upcoming transfer window.
Since Aaron Wan-Bissaka only saw four minutes of action in the first few weeks of the season, the right-back is being considered as a possible Diogo Dalot replacement.
Bayer Leverkusen snapped up the Dutch star from Celtic in 2020. However, he was allegedly being scouted by United last month, according to German journalist Florian Plettenberg.
Frimpong, who is just 21 years old, is a member of the Dutch World Cup team currently playing in Qatar. Bayer Leverkusen will struggle to keep hold of the defender, according to Romano, and United will need to shell out £25 million to sign him next month.
He continued by saying that no direct conversations have yet taken place between clubs and that Manchester United is still considering its options ahead of the transfer window. Manager Erik ten Hag’s choice may be influenced by United’s current training camp in Spain.
With Marc Jurado, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Brandon Williams, he has three fit right-backs in his squad.
One of these players may get the chance to feature and fit into Ten Hag’s plans by playing in the winter-friendly games this month. The alternative for United is to call up Ethan Laird from QPR.
