Kieran Trippier making arrangements for Manchester United move

According to transfer news from Daily Star, Kieran Trippier is already making arrangements for a move to Manchester United. The Atletico Madrid defender is keen on a return to English shores, with Manchester United keen on signing him.

In the two seasons that Wan-Bissaka has been at the club, he has shown that there is no better defensive right-back in the league. However, the downside to such defensive prowess is that he leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to attacking. Modern full-backs are known for their attacking prowess but United can hardly do that with Wan-Bissaka from the right.

That is why United are after Atletico Madrid’s Kieran Trippier. The Euros runner-up is known for bombing forward at the drop of a hat, which should offer United a different dimension. There is also the added factor of United lacking decent options apart from Wan-Bissaka at right-back.

As United look to go after Trippier, the player is also said to be ‘making arrangements’ for a move. That could mean several things like looking for a house. Trippier is keen to make a move back to home soil after the two-year Spanish sojourn, which should aid United’s cause.

Trippier is a player that United can use as he can offer something wildly different to Wan-Bissaka. United have often lacked that ‘plan B’ when it came to cracking open stubborn teams and a more attacking option such as Trippier might be the place to start.
