Manchester United is reportedly close to finalizing a deal to sign Atletico Madrid right-back Kieran Trippier.
Trippier also appears to be prepared for life at Old Trafford next season, according to the Manchester Evening News.
According to the story, the England international has returned to the UK after two years in Spain, and his wife is becoming close to the partners of Manchester United combo Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw.
If Trippier does join United, it will be intriguing to see how he fits in, as Aaron Wan-Bissaka is unlikely to give up his starting spot lightly.
For a long time, the former Crystal Palace man has been a consistent and reliable player for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, despite some concerns that he doesn't give enough going forward.
Trippier is a different type of player in that position, and he could be a good fit to help United become a more dangerous attacking force next season.
The former Tottenham midfielder shone in the Premier League earlier in his career and has also been a hit at Atletico Madrid, where he played a major role in the club's La Liga title triumph last season.
