Manchester United appear to have received some very encouraging transfer news, as Kieran Trippier has reportedly told England teammates that he is interested in a move to Old Trafford this summer.
According to the Daily Mirror, the Atletico Madrid right-back has been linked as a summer target for Manchester United to provide competition for Aaron Wan-Bissaka and could cost between £15 and £20 million.
According to the Mirror, Trippier has expressed his desire to join the Red Devils during conversations with his England teammates ahead of this summer's Euro 2020 tournament.
All of this bodes well for United, who could benefit greatly from bringing in a player of Trippier's calibre and experience in time for next season.
The 30-year-old had a successful career at Tottenham before joining Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2019, where he has continued to impress.
Trippier was a key member of Atletico Madrid's La Liga title-winning squad last season, and his attacking style of play should fit in well with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad.
Although Wan-Bissaka is a solid defender, his attacking play from right full-back has occasionally been lacking, so Trippier would be a useful alternative for the club in this key area.
Attacking full-backs are a huge part of the game now, with Luke Shaw doing well in that department for United last season, while Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andrew Robertson, and Kyle Walker have all been hugely important players for United's opponents.
