Manchester United will only pursue Jeremie Frimpong if Aaron Wan-Bissaka is sold | OneFootball

Manchester United will only attempt to sign Jeremie Frimpong if Aaron Wan-Bissaka is sold.

The former Crystal Palace right back had lost his first choice status to Diogo Dalot this season, but an injury crisis that has seen United unbelievably play most of the season without a recognised left back, has meant that the Portuguese has had to shift over to the left hand side.

This has resulted in Wan-Bissaka continuing to receive regular game time on the right, as he has played 25 games in all competitions this season.

However, there are plenty of problems with Wan-Bissaka’s game as United legend Dwight Yorke bluntly called out when he described the right back has running around “like a headless chicken in the opposition box, running in his teammates’ way”.

The Englishman’s cluelessness was on sight for all to see as yesterday he found himself with a free shot on the edge of the area but for some reason delayed the shot so long that a Burnley defender could nip the ball away before he took a shot.

Therefore, the Red Devils have been linked with right backs who have much more to their attacking game and Jeremie Frimpong is one name that just won’t go away.

The Dutch international is the exact opposite as he is a massive attacking threat, having scored 13 goals and provided 11 assists this season, unbelievable numbers for a fullback as Bayer Leverkusen have marched to the Bundesliga title and semi-final of the Europa League.

GIVEMESPORT now claim that United would be interested in doing a deal for the 23 year old this summer, but only if Wan-Bissaka is sold.

Sources have told the site that, “Manchester United will only attempt to complete the signing of Bayer Leverkusen star Jeremie Frimpong a matter of weeks after his Bundesliga title success if Aaron Wan-Bissaka seals his Old Trafford departure during the summer transfer window”.

Therefore, “there is uncertainty over whether a move to Old Trafford is on the cards”.

“It is understood that the Red Devils have not made a firm decision on whether they are willing to cash in on the 26-year-old, who is preparing to enter the final 12 months of his £90,000-per-week contract, but Serie A giants Inter Milan are showing interest ahead of the transfer window reopening”.

“In a major boost for Manchester United, GMS sources have been informed that Frimpong is keen to move to the Premier League after being deprived of the opportunity to break into the Manchester City first-team during the early stages of his career, while he is aware of the Old Trafford interest building thanks to his impressive performances in a Leverkusen shirt”.

What’s more, Frimpong has a £34 million release clause written into his contract that can be activated before the Euros begin on the 14th of June.

With the clock ticking, INEOS will need to make a decision soon, but if they are really moving towards building a more possession based side, Frimpong over Wan-Bissaka is one of the biggest upgrades imaginable.

In complete contrast to Wan-Bissaka, he “is tremendously offensive and does most of his work in the final third” and has been described as using “his quick feet and elite agility to avoid challenges before accelerating away with his devastating pace. He’s supremely difficult to track due to the number of ways in which he’s able to escape his marker in every situation”.
