Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot have impressed somewhat but neither possess the all-round qualities needed for a full-back.
While Wan-Bissaka played brilliantly with contributions in the defense for Man Utd, Dalot proved more effective in the last third of the field.
Therefore, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the Red Devils have been interested in Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong for a long time.
Man Utd target.
Recently, Sport confirmed that Man Utd is the leading candidate to sign the 22-year-old player. The reason is that Barcelona is facing Financial Fair Play issues. They need to reduce their salary fund by 200 million euros to welcome new recruits.
Frimpong also wants to return to Manchester, where he spent 10 years at the Manchester City academy (2010-2019) before moving to Celtic.
Frimpong is currently enjoying a fantastic season with Leverkusen, scoring eight goals and providing nine assists in 37 appearances in all competitions. A great achievement for the defender position.
The Dutchman, who can play on either flank, averages 1.7 tackles and 6.7 duels per game. Leverkusen values Frimpong at €50 million.
