Man United continue to be linked to Kieran Trippier

Red Devils and Tottenham will battle Newcastle while they race to sign Atletico’s Kieran Trippier. The defender has been on the radar of Man Utd for a while now as Atletico is gearing up to let go of the right-back in the January transfer window. The teams would need to meet Trippier’s £50m contract release clause first.

As per the reports, Trippier is ready to return to Premier League after he made the move to Atletico in a £20m deal from Spurs in 2019, and ever since Newcastle received the cash infusion they have been determined to make the player club’s highest-ever earner with £150,000-per-week deal. This season he has made 14 appearances in the Spanish top flight and played thrice in the Champions League but hasn't yet scored at Los Rojiblancos.
