Report states Bayer Leverkusen have ‘offered’ right wing-back Jeremie Frimpong to Manchester United.
United is reportedly exploring potential signings to bolster their full-back positions amid uncertainties regarding the fitness of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.
Both players faced significant injury setbacks last season, with Malacia missing the entire campaign.
The club is also assessing its right-back options, especially with Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s future in doubt due to interest from Inter Milan, Everton, and West Ham United.
Man United ‘offered’ Frimpong
According to a report by HITC via Manchester Evening News, Bayer Leverkusen has ‘offered’ right wing-back Jeremie Frimpong to Manchester United.
This potential move is being considered as United might seek a new right-sided full-back if Aaron Wan-Bissaka is sold before the transfer deadline.
Frimpong, who began his career at Manchester City, has been on United’s radar over the past year.
The club has held interest in the Netherlands international since 2023, when initial discussions with his representatives took place.
In addition to Frimpong, other names have also been linked with the full-back position at United.
Erik ten Hag had particularly shown interest Bayern Munich’s Noussair Mazraoui, who appears to be nearing a transfer to West Ham for €19.5 million.
West Ham had previously shown keen interest in Wan-Bissaka, but the Englishman rejected the move as he prefers a transfer to Inter Milan.
Consequently, West Ham quickly turned their attention to Bayern Munich and secured a deal for Noussair Mazraoui. It’s interesting to see how the market works sometimes.
The upcoming transfer window will be crucial for United as they aim to strengthen their squad, particularly in the full-back areas.
With several potential targets being discussed, it remains to be seen who the club will ultimately secure to enhance their defensive options.
