Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong.
The Netherlands international has caught the attention of a number of clubs in Europe after his stellar performances for Xabi Alonso’s side in the campaign.
Frimpong, who formerly played for Man City and Celtic before moving to Germany, has recorded eight goals and nine assists from full-back this year.
It’s the kind of goal involvement rate that appeals to any side and, according to reports, it’s helped trigger the interest of United boss Erik ten Hag.
Sky Germany claim that ten Hag’s side are keeping tabs on the Leverkusen defender ahead of a potential move in the summer.

They note that the 22-year-old will be out of contract in the summer of 2025 and that could help engineer a move to Old Trafford in the next window.
Ten Hag’s current right-back options, Diego Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, also have expiring deals in 2025 – which could see United cash in on them in this window.
Frimpong has been in scintillating form for Alonso’s side this campaign and it’s led to his involvement with the Dutch national team at the 2022 World Cup.
The full-back did not make an appearance in the competition and has since failed to get back into the squad, after the appointment of Ronald Koeman.
