Man United transfer: Coach Erik ten Hag continues the strong ‘Dutchization’ of Man United when preparing to recruit right back Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, paving the way for Aaron Wan-Bissaka to leave Old Trafford.
After two seasons under coach Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford, Wan-Bissaka has somewhat proven his abilities with contributions in defense. However, his attacking ability is still limited, making the English defender never considered a top choice, at least compared to Diogo Dalot.
With INEOS determined to change its team to prepare for the new season, Wan-Bissaka’s future is once again being mentioned. Not long ago, the defender born in 1997 was asked to buy by Galatasaray. However, the price is too low and Man Utd has not yet accepted to release the person.
Next is West Ham, the London team that is supporting new coach Julen Lopetegui in the transfer process to help him get the smoothest start possible. And Wan-Bissaka is a suitable choice. On the other hand, both Man Utd and Wan-Bissaka are waiting for an acceptable offer from the London representative.
Man Utd has targeted Jeremie Frimpong to replace Wan-Bissaka. The Dutch defender contributed greatly to Bayer Leverkusen’s undefeated 2023/24 Bundesliga championship. In fact, coach Ten Hag has had his eye on Frimpong since he first arrived at MU in 2022. However, that was not the right time to activate the deal.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United has reached a preliminary agreement with Bayer Leverkusen on a transfer fee of about £30 million. Personal negotiations with Frimpong are also actively going on. The recruitment of Frimpong will be a quality addition to Manchester United’s defense. He is expected to compete for an official position with Diogo Dalot and bring diversity to the team’s playing style.
After welcoming two more Dutch assistant coaches, Ruud van Nistelrooy and René Hake, Man Utd is becoming the ideal destination for Jeremie Frimpong. Even midfielder Mathijs de Ligt is eager to move to the Old Trafford team and is just waiting for a nod from Bayern Munich.
