Man Utd interested in signing Jeremie Frimpong

According to journalist Ben Jacobs, manchester united could reignite their interest in signing Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong this summer.

The Red Devils have had a long-term interest in the Dutch right-back and could make a new move during the next transfer window. writing in his SPORTS GIFT column, Jacobs revealed that Man United were in contact with the player's representatives ahead of the 2022 World Cup.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his team are now responsible for negotiations at United and Jacobs he believes Frimpong could become a target. The 23-year-old is expected to leave Leverkusen at the end of the season and is open to playing for the first division.

First level signing

Frimpong has been in tremendous form for Leverkusen in the last two years. He scored 9 goals and 11 assists in 48 games last season and has fared better this season with 11 goals and 11 assists in 33 games. The Dutchman has played from the right back position for his club.

Despite his advanced role, United could be interested in signing him as he was a right-back during his formative years. He is more than capable of moving into a defensive position, but his attacking qualities should impress the coach. Erik ten Hag the most. He lacks a similar presence in the squad.

Diogo Dalot is currently the regular choice on the right side of United's defence, but he is not known for contributing goals. Frimpong should imagine his chances of displacing the Portuguese if he joined the club. He could be the replacement for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Wan-Bissaka has not agreed an extension to his contract which expires in June next year. The club has not started talks about a possible renewal and everything indicates that it is heading towards the exit door. Frimpong would be a top-level signing and could be signed due to his low release clause of £34 million.
