On June 7 in Beijing, news from 442 revealed that England defender Trippier is eager to join Manchester United this summer, a desire that stems from his love for the Red Devils. The England international has been named as a potential reinforcement for United, who are in desperate need of a defender to add to their squad. Despite starting 34 of United's 38 Premier League matches last season as a starter, doubts remain over Wan-Bissaka at the attacking end of the pitch. Solskjaer is said to hold Trippier in high regard and is eager to bring him to Old Trafford.
In order to compete for the Premier League title next season, the United bosses are looking for strong reinforcements across the board. 2020/21's runners-up finish pointed United in the right direction but they are still eager to lift the trophy once again.
Trippier is open to leaving Atletico Madrid to return to the Premier League, according to the Mirror. He revealed to his England teammates that he will join Manchester United. The Red Devils believe that a transfer fee of £15-20 million would be enough to successfully sign Trippier, as that is what he paid when he joined Atletico Madrid in 2019 from Tottenham Hotspur.
Trippier helped Simeone's side win the La Liga title last season. Earlier this year, Atletico Madrid offered a one-year extension in his contract, thus extending his contract with Atletico until 2023. However, Trippier believes that this is a perfect opportunity to leave the club as he is a Manchester native who made his debut here before moving on to play for Burnley and Tottenham Hotspur. His family are United fans and a big reason why Trippier expects to join United is to take the opportunity to return home. Having tasted victory in the Spanish league, Trippier is keen to add a Premier League title to his roll of honor.
