DONE DEAL – £33.8million player offered to Man United – Reds has finally get signing done

In the last week, Man Utd has been linked to several right-backs who may replace Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the starting lineup. Jeremie Frimpong, a defender for Bayer Leverkusen, appears to be the most recent addition to this list.

After it was reported that Dumfries was near to extending his Inter Milan contract until 2028, we highlighted a story that said Noussair Mazraoui’s management were pressuring him to sign with Manchester United. It appears like Frimpong will be the next name.

The Red Devils and the Bundesliga winner have been connected for a while. Even though Diogo Dalot is an excellent player and ought to stay with the team, Wan-Bissaka has a lot of weaknesses in his game that frequently interfere with Erik ten Hag’s ideas.

According to the Spanish newspaper Fichajes, Man Utd has now been given the opportunity to sign Frimpong. The Dutch defender failed to get into Ronald Koeman’s plans for the 2024 European Championship despite being one of the greatest players in Europe last season, not only in his position.

Frimpong’s contract has a release clause worth about £33.8 million, and it expired this month. One can assume that Bayer Leverkusen would expect a little greater package if any club were to engage with them for the player.

Frimpong is possibly the greatest name associated with the right-back position for Manchester United, having the highest ceiling of all the names involved. The 23-year-old has a wicked finish in his locker and is a fantastic forward, as we seen several times throughout the previous season.

But it’s important to keep in mind that, in Xabi Alonso’s system, Frimpong has played some of his best football when playing as a wing-back for Leverkusen. Could he play right back in a back four at Manchester United given his defensive prowess?

Ten Hag will be signing another Dutchman if Man Utd signs Frimpong, but this time there won’t be many questions asked of him. Let’s watch to see how this story ends.
