Manchester United(opens in new tab) is reportedly keeping tabs on Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong – who spent almost a decade in Manchester City’s (opens in new tab)‘s youth set-up.
The Netherlands U21 international is said to be seen as a potential replacement for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who has flopped at United since his £50m move from Crystal Palace(opens in new tab) three years ago.
According to Sky Sport in Germany (via Manchester Evening News)(opens in new tab), Erik ten Hag is interested in Frimpong, who joined Leverkusen from Celtic(opens in new tab) In January last year.
Wan-Bissaka – who’s been injured for most of the season, playing just four minutes – is contracted at Old Trafford until the summer of 2024, but United may well try to offload him sooner.
Even when fit at the beginning of the campaign, Wan-Bissaka was playing second fiddle at right-back to Diogo Dalot – who has started all 11 of United’s league games in 2022/23.
