Man United are still seriously considering the possibility of making a move to sign Jeremie Frimpong this summer.

I think it’s fair to say that since being installed as Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag hasn’t been completely content with his right-back situation.

The initial feeling was that Aaron Wan-Bissaka wasn’t the ideal stylistic fit, while there were general concerns about Diogo Dalot’s performance levels. The former has adapted nicely to the current system, while the latter has been pretty impressive lately.

However, that may not stop Ten Hag from dipping his toes into the right-back transfer market. Once again, it’s Jeremie Frimpong being linked with a Reds switch.

Sportbild (Wednesday print edition) have provided the latest on Bayer Leverkusen’s upcoming transfer window, including United interest in the Dutchman. Thanks to Sport Witness for the translation.

According to the information, Frimpong is one of four Leverkusen players United are interested in, with the Reds keen on signing the 23-year-old right-back.

What’s interesting is that Frimpong is described as the most serious target, having previously been on United’s radar last summer.

His excellent performances this season mean that Frimpong is ‘probably leaving’ his current club this summer, though only if his release clause, which stands at £34m (40m euro) is met.

Bayer are under no pressure to sell as his current deal does not expire until 2028.

Frimpong would likely be an upgrade in the right-back position, though I cannot help but feel other areas are a priority. A left-back, centre-back, central midfielder, right-winger and striker are some positions that need work.

One idea could be to move the aforementioned Dalot to left-back if Frimpong is signed, though I much prefer the man from Portugal on the right-hand side of defence
