Manchester United have had an initial transfer offer by Atlético de Madrid winger Kieran Trippier rejected, according to a report.
Recently appointed Soccer director John Murtough reportedly started working on summer sales. the day after United’s defeat in the Europa League final in Gdansk. While winger Jadon Sancho has resurfaced as the primary target, right-back Trippier has also resurfaced on his radar.
The Red Devils discussed his transfer in January, but disengaged him due to his off-field suspension.
However, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has concerns about Aaron Wan-Bissaka. As such, he wants to bring in Trippier to act as a solid competition.
According to Football Insider, United has submitted an opening offer worth around £ 10 million. However, they have faced rejection from the La Liga champions.
In fact, Atlético have told United bosses to increase the offer if they want to remove the England international.
Trippier is currently with the England team preparing for Sunday’s Euro 2020 opener against Croatia.
Although he has reportedly told his international colleagues that he wants to move to Old Trafford.
In addition, Football Insider adds that the former Tottenham player is looking forward to returning to England after two years in Madrid.
Trippier left Tottenham in the summer of 2019 and has two years left on his contract in Spain.
Regardless, the 30-year-old is supposedly a ‘top priority’ target and therefore United could come back with a better offer.
As for Wan-Bissaka, Solskjaer wants to test his current right-back in a more central role in preseason this summer. That could be to the right of a three-man defense, or as center-back in a four-man defense.
