Trippier 'leading candidate' as United look for right-back to support Wan-Bissaka - The Athletic (reliability: 5 stars)

Atletico Madrid's right-back Kieran Trippier is back on Man United's radar ahead of the summer transfer window, according to The Athletic.

The Premier League club are looking for a player to support Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Trippier appears to be the leading candidate.

As per the source, United would prefer an experienced player, and 30-year-old England international fits the criteria.

His contract with Atletico expires next year, and he held talks with United in January already.

However, those talks stalled after Trippier got a 10-week ban from football for breaching the betting rules.

This season, the right-back has provided 6 assists in 27 La Liga games as Atletico are nearing their first league title since the 2013-14 season.
