TOP STORY: Frimpong on Man Utd’s radar

Manchester United have begun talks with the representatives of Bayer Leverkusen wingback Jeremie Frimpong, according to Sky Sports Deutschland’s Florian Plettenberg.

Erik ten Hag is reported to be a keen admirer of the 22-year-old, who is open to leave the Bay Arena in the summer, and it looks as though he is among the top options as the Red Devils continue their search for a right-back.

Frimpong has found his career best form under manager Xabi Alonso, having scored eight goals while assisting another six in 26 Bundesliga clashes, with his most recent coming during the 3-0 win over Schalke 04 on Saturday.

Contracted until the summer of 2025, there will be no pressure for Leverkusen to accept incoming offers when the transfer market opens, but interest in his signature could begin to grow across Europe should his rich vein of form continue.
