Manchester United are considering signing Jeremie Frimpong to strengthen their options at right back.
The Bayer Leverkusen player is among a number of candidates being monitored by United as they look to strengthen.
Currently, only Diogo Dalot is seen as a reliable option at right-back, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka seemingly frozen due to his limitations on the ball.
Erik ten Hag demands technical ability from his full-backs, as well as the ability to contribute effectively to his team’s attack.
I would certainly get that from Frimpong.
The 21-year-old is a compatriot of Ten Hag, which certainly doesn’t hurt.
But more than that, he is a potent attacking weapon for Leverkusen and is often seen hanging around the pitch to support the attack.
Frimpong completes 8.99 progressive carries and completes 2.06 dribbles per 90 minutes, placing him in the top 2% in both metrics, according to fbref.
In just ten Bundesliga games this season, the Dutchman has scored four goals, underscoring his attacking prowess.
Word of United’s interest comes from reliable Florian Plettenberg, who previously tweeted:
“Together with other players he is on the Manchester United list! #MUFC wants to transfer a high-quality right-back in winter. At the latest in summer. 21 years old is a key player for Leverkusen, contract until 2025. Very interesting profile for Ten Hag.”

Frimpong would certainly add something different to United and while he wouldn’t come cheap, he seems to be an ideal fullback for Ten Hag’s system.
