Man United ‘intensify contact’ for 13-goal TOP Bundesliga defender

Manchester United transfer news and gossip with updates on reported interest from the Reds in Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong

Manchester United are continuing to be linked with several potential new signings ahead of the summer transfer window.

Erik ten Hag’s side have an FA Cup final to look forward to next month and are also battling to finish as high as possible in the Premier League table.

Despite this reality, rumours are continuing to swirl as to which players United could look to target at the end of the season.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos Group completed a 25 percent takeover of United earlier this year and will be overseeing the transfer business this summer as part of their control of footballing operations at Old Trafford.

The latest rumours around United concern a potential new midfielder and new defender being signed by the Reds.

Reports in Germany are claiming that United are stepping up their interest in Bayer Leverkusen full-back Jeremie Frimpong.

According to Sport Bild, via Sport Witness, United have “intensified contact” with Bayer Leverkusen over a potential deal to sign Frimpong.

The Reds have been linked with the signing of the Netherlands international for several weeks, with Frimpong playing a key role in helping Leverkusen stay unbeaten all campaign and win the Bundesliga title.

Despite playing as a right-back for the majority of the season, Frimpong has still managed to score 13 goals and provide 11 assists.

That form has seen Frimpong linked with a big-money move this summer, with United reportedly the club determined to acquire his services.
