According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United has an advantage in the race to sign Dutch full-back Jeremie Frimpong.
The presence of Erik ten Hag is thought to be crucial in this situation, so the Netherlands star may be open to moving to Old Trafford.
With five goals this year, Frimpong is having a strong season for Bayer Leverkusen. His attacking performances earned him a spot in the Netherlands World Cup team, but Denzel Dumfries was the starter of choice, therefore he did not play a single minute.
The 22-year-old defender is anticipated to have a successful future, and there is no doubt he has a chance to play in the Premier League. United may find themselves in the lead for the right-back despite the fact that there is a tonne of interest in him due to his performances this season. According to the source, United may search for a replacement for Aaron Wan Bissaka. While recently outlining the right-back dilemma, Ten Hag also offered encouragement to the former Crystal Palace player.
However, the Red Devils would consider having Frimpong take Wan Bissaka’s position. Leverkusen might change their mind if the £25 million asking price is met, even though they are still not interested in selling during the January window.
There are also questions about the Leverkusen star’s preference to play second fiddle to Diogo Dalot, but there is a good likelihood that he will eventually earn a spot in the starting lineup.
Frimpong will fill United’s present right-back position with a wealth of attacking skills.
