Transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano has provided his latest update on Manchester United's interest in the potential signing of Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong this summer.

The Red Devils could surely do with bringing in an upgrade on Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka for next season, and Frimpong is undoubtedly one of the best around at the moment after his superb form for title-winning Leverkusen this season.
Still, it seems things have not yet advanced beyond what Romano has previously heard on the Frimpong to Man Utd stories, with the Italian journalist explaining that the Premier League giants have been monitoring the Dutchman for some time, but with nothing more concrete happening on that situation so far.
Speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside for the latest edition of his Daily Briefing column, Romano reiterated once again what he knows about Frimpong and United, plus the 23-year-old's release clause at Leverkusen.
“Some Manchester United fans have asked me about reports from some media outlets about United intensifying talks over Jeremie Frimpong, but I don't really have an update from what I've said before,” Romano said.
“Man United have been scouting Frimpong for long time; he was already on the list before the World Cup in 2022. But Man United have not decided yet how much they want to invest on each position, this will be part of strategy in May and not now.
“Frimpong has a release clause, as already mentioned, so let's see if United or any other club will decide to trigger it, but this will come later, as I understand nothing is happening now.”
MUFC fans will surely continue to keep an eye on this story, with Frimpong clearly a player on the club's radar, even if it's still a bit early for things to be going any further than that.
Still, the summer is not too far away now, so this seems like it will surely be one to watch in the next few weeks.

I'd sell Dalot. Awb far better at defending.
I would keep both, but if the club goes for another RB/RWB and decide to sell one of them, I believe they'll sell AWB and keep Dalot coz he's been in good form this season.

The reason I go for Dumfries is because if the club decides to sell one of the RB, I think they'll sell AWB and keep Dalot.

Dumfries is better in defending, good in attack but I wouldn't say better than Frimpong , as for Frimpong he's better in attack, good in defending but not better than Dumfries. We all know our problems when it comes to defence.
if you watch Dumfries so well, you'll be able to understand that he's just gonna be another problem for the team. He's just too temperamental and will keep getting unnecessary fouls/cards and that's in no way gonna help the team!

Frimpong is literally better at going forward than Dumfries and I'd say he's better at defending. He be the better RB. Sorry. And it's what we need for competition for are best RB AWB.
