Jeremie Frimpong is interested in a possible move to Manchester United. United had previously expressed interest in the Leverkusen wingback. Several English-Dutch media outlets reported on the subject during the summer transfer window. Right now, the situation is favorable. Fabrizio Romano and other media professionals claim that it would not be shocking if this acquisition was fulfilled.
The Netherlands international is currently a right-wing back for Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. In 21 games this season, he has five goals and three assists while playing both right-back and right wing-back for Leverkusen. The right-back is currently with the Netherlands at the World Cup in Qatar but has yet to play a minute. Frimpong, meanwhile, was a member of the Manchester City Academy. For nine years, he attended their youth academy. He never participated in any official games for City, but he did participate frequently in the Premier League 2 and the UEFA Youth League.
Media on Jeremie Frimpong’s move to Manchester United
According to reports from Sky Sports in Germany, United is interested in hiring Frimpong, age 21. The same report, though, makes the case that they could have to wait until next summer to secure him. According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United’s transfer target Jeremie Frimpong would be “overjoyed” to join Erik ten Hag’s team. Fabrizio commented,
“Jeremie Frimpong dreams of playing Premier League football and would be “super excited” to join #mufc. His price tag is around €20-25M.”
He then later went on to say:
“Jeremie Frimpong Is absolutely open to join to #mufc.”
The situation at Manchester United
Ten Hag has not yet used the $50 million acquisition of Aaron Wan-Bissaka at right-back, despite earlier in the year saying the team needed another right-back. Aaron Wan-bissaka is not happy at United. Bissaka has not been able to get a place in the starting 11 so far this season. Throughout the season, Wan-bissaka was only able to play for a total of four minutes. He is not required for Ten Hag’s game plan. Meanwhile, the coach is happy with Diogo Dalot, who continues to be in good form in the right-back position. Wan-bissaka is not yet a viable alternative for Ten Hag in the wing-back position. For this void, United is considering Jeremie Frimpong. In January, Wan-bissaka is attempting to depart the team. If it does, United will later sign Jeremie.
