According to a source from Caught Offside, the Old Trafford team has started a plan to approach the young Dutch star.
Since moving to Bayer Leverkusen from Celtic, Jeremie Frimpong has quickly achieved great strides in his career. In recent seasons, he has always been among the best right-backs in the Bundesliga. Only 22 years old, Frimpong has given himself an impressive 16 goals and 33 assists . He is being valued by Transfermarkt at 35 million euros .

With an impressive performance, Frimpong caught the eye of coach Erik ten Hag. If officially landing at Old Trafford successfully, the Dutch star can completely reach the peak of Antonio Valencia – the famous right-back of the Red Devils in the past. At that time, Frimpong will make Aaron Wan-Bissaka no longer a place in Ten Hag’s squad.
The Man Utd captain wants to recruit a quality right-back to create competition with the pair of Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka. After a long search, he decided to turn his sights to the star of his country.
According to a source from Caught Offside, Man Utd and Frimpong’s representative – Jeffrey Lemmert have started negotiations and everything is going positively.
The Dutchman still has a contract until 2025 at Leverkusen, but he is ready to leave this summer. This is considered a push for Man Utd, because the pressure from Frimpong may cause Leverkusen to make concessions in the upcoming negotiation process.
