Manchester United remain ‘committed’ to signing England international before transfer deadline

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be keenly aware that more additions could be required in order to close the gap on Manchester City, however.

One man who has been linked with a move to Old Trafford is England international Kieran Trippier, who currently plays his football with Atletico Madrid.

He’s also at an age where he can provide competition for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, while not blocking his path and stunting his growth as a player.
