Manchester United appreciate Jeremie Frimpong, but many clubs are also aware of the Dutch defender.
Frimpong moved to Leverkusen after starting his professional career at Celtic. The youngster went through the Manchester City academy, which makes a lot of sense considering his immense technical ability.
At 21, Frimpong is already a key player at Leverkusen, having even managed five goals in eleven league games at right-back this season.
Now journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed to CaughtOffside via his Substack column that Manchester United are one of the clubs that appreciate Frimpong, but many clubs are showing interest in the young defender.

“Many clubs are following Frimpong, Man United appreciate him, but Bayer Leverkusen will try to keep him until the end of the season, it’s not easy. Behind the scenes, ten Hag and Man Utd tried to find a solution for Wan-Bissaka to sign Sergino Dest on loan; but now it is still early to mention the complete list, December could be the right time to decide”, said Romano.
Frimpong may be under consideration for Manchester United, but Wan-Bissaka’s release could be necessary to facilitate the transfer. Having three veteran right-backs on the books wouldn’t make much sense, so we could see United make a move for Frimpong if they get rid of a right-back first.
