Full-back for Atletico Madrid According to the Metro, Kieran Trippier is set to reject a transfer to Arsenal in favor of joining Manchester United this summer.
Trippier has had a successful two-year tenure in Spain since joining Atletico Madrid from Tottenham in 2019, and he was instrumental in Diego Simeone's side beating Real Madrid to the La Liga title last season.
The England international, on the other hand, is allegedly intent on returning to the Premier League this summer, which has piqued the curiosity of several major English clubs.

Manchester United was prominently connected earlier this summer as Ole Gunner Solskjaer selected Trippier as the guy to compete with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, but they were unable to reach an agreement with Atletico after having an initial £10 million offer rejected in June.
Arsenal has emerged as major bidders for the 30-year-old in recent weeks, as Mikel Arteta desperately tries to recruit a new right-back before the window closes, as the Gunners' right-back position has been a problem area.
Hector Bellerin is expected to leave the Emirates Stadium in the coming days, while Cedric Soares and Callum Chambers have struggled to establish themselves as the club's right-backs, implying that an upgrade is required.
The Sun claimed earlier this week that Arsenal was considering a late bid to sign Trippier, but was hopeful that Atletico would decrease their asking price - which has been set at the full value of the player's £34 million release clause.
Eurosport also believes that Arsenal is ‘seriously interested' in Trippier, but the North Londoners may be wasting their time because the full-back is ready to reject their efforts in favor of a move to Old Trafford.
Man United is considering making another bid for Trippier, according to Eurosport through the Metro, and the player is set on a move to Manchester if he does leave the Wanda Metropolitano before Tuesday night's deadline.
According to the source, United has been informed that Trippier is interested in joining them if a fee can be agreed upon, and the Red Devils may return with an improved offer this week, but they still want Atletico to decrease their £34m asking price.
We'll have to wait and see what happens in the coming days, but it appears that Arsenal will have to go elsewhere for a new right-back, while Manchester United is in pole position to sign Trippier if they can reach an agreement with Atletico.
