Manchester United boss Solskjaer has now revealed after the UEFA Cup defeat that he expects the salon to bring in more than three new recruits this summer to strengthen the formation. And in the subsequent talks with director of soccer John Murtagh, Manchester United has now confirmed the three main points of this summer's reinforcements: right winger Sancho, center back Varane and right back Trippier. Among them, Atletico Madrid's England international, Trippier, has re-entered the manager's acquisition list.
Media outlets such as the Manchester Evening News and the Daily Mail in the UK have proved that Manchester United have now restarted the transfer of Trippier. United attempted to bring him in back in January this year, but he was suspended at the time, so plans were put on hold.
Now, 30-year-old Trippier has just two years left on his contract with Atletico Madrid and is understood to be ready to return to England. And the Great British Scriptor is originally from Greater Manchester, born in Bury with family still living in the city, and grew up supporting the Red Devils.
Solskjaer was not satisfied with Wambizka's assisting prowess and thought Trippier would be an ideal competitor, planning a repeat of the trick, looking to energize the right-hand side in the same way that left-back Teles activated Luke Shaw. United have even prepared Trippier's shirt number now, which will be 12 just like in the Europa League.
Luke Shaw has been voted United's Salon Player of the Year by his teammates after his embodied level of performance increased at a high rate following United's £13.8m signing of Brazilian international Tellez.
Trippier is also one of four right backs that Southgate has recruited to England's squad for the Euros, having played for Tottenham Hotspur, and was a starter for the Three Lions at the 2018 World Cup, as well as getting on the scoresheet in the semi-final loss to Croatia. Trippier, who has a strong assisting talent and can also take corners and free kicks, is a better right wingback option than Wambizka if Solskjaer plans to utilize a three-man center back.
Trippier, who left Tottenham to join Atletico Madrid in 2019, started 35 games in all competitions last season, assisting six times in 25 La Liga appearances to help Simeone's side win their first La Liga title since 2014. Trippier is simply indispensable in the Bedbugs' tactical system, and his suspension was a major reason for Atletico's sudden midseason dip in results and near overtaking by Real Madrid. He averaged a whopping 1.2 passes per game, compared to just a third of Wanbizka's 0.4!
Atletico Madrid at that time to 20 million pounds to introduce Trippier, but due to his contractual situation, as well as the salon's debt has also soared to nearly 1 billion euros, the price of the England international, will not be as outrageous as the Premier League in the homegrown players, it is estimated that within 17 million pounds can be completed within the sale, and the introduction of the previous year Tellez is also closer.
The Daily Mail disclosed that, in addition to Trippier, Solskjaer also expects Manchester United to sign Sancho, so that in former times 10 years has been weaker Manchester United right attack, can greatly improve, to reproduce the former Manchester United Giggs and Kanchelskiy, Giggs and Beckham two wings flying tradition.
United also plan to compete for the signing of Real Madrid's iron defender Varane, whose contract extension with the Galacticos has not developed so far, with Florentino Perez having now signed Bayern Munich's Austrian Liu Xing Alaba, and perhaps for Villarreal's Pau Torres. If Varane does not renew his signature, Real Madrid might clean him out for around £60 million to prevent the French center-back from walking away for free in a year's time. Torres is also another option for the salon if United are unable to get Varane.
United will also sign goalkeeper Tom Heaton, who is out of contract with Aston Villa, at the end of the month, but he joins for zero transfer fee and is not counted in this summer's quota of reinforcements. If United can bring in Sancho for £77 million, get Trippier for £17 million, and sign Varane for £60 million, the total transfer fee would be about £154 million, which is not beyond the salon's regular summer window budget.
Moreover, by doing so, United's left-right balance, as well as the stability of the front and back of the field, will be significantly improved. Solskjaer will be able to propose an impact on the Premier League title next season, and will no longer be able to delay substitutions until the 100th minute on the grounds of lack of bench depth, as was the case in the UEFA Cup final.
At that point, United will be left with only one last major hole in their formation - a defensive full-back. West Ham's Declan Rice was also mentioned during Solskjaer's transfer summit with the director of soccer, while United also expect to sign a younger winger.
