# Manchester United: Jeremie Frimpong move plotted

**[Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/) are believed to be plotting a summer move for Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong.**

### The Lowdown: Summer speculation

The Red Devils were busy last summer ahead of [Erik ten Hag](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/erik-ten-hag/)’s first season in charge at Old Trafford, although they [didn’t bolster](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manchester-united/transfers/verein/985) their right-back ranks.

Frimpong appeared to be a player of interest in 2022, with [Sky Sports Germany](https://sport.sky.de/transfer/news/34132/12757570/bayer-leverkusen-transfer-es-wird-heisser-zwischen-frimpong-manchester-united) claiming that a move had at one stage been ‘becoming more and more apparent’. As we know, a transfer ultimately failed to materialise, but it looks as if United still want to sign the Netherlands international.

### The Latest: Frimpong impresses Man United scouts

[Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-man-united-make-move-for-jeremie-frimpong-as-new-price-tag-revealed/) shared an update regarding Frimpong on Saturday, revealing that United are plotting a move for the 22-year-old.

Old Trafford scouts have been raving about the player, and there is a belief that a deal can be done for a fee between £30m and £35m, despite Leverkusen valuing him in the £40m-£50m bracket.

### The Verdict: Top performer

Hailed as a [‘special player’](https://www.getfootballnewsgermany.com/2022/xabi-alonso-praises-jeremie-frimpong-after-world-cup-call-up/) by his manager Xabi Alonso and valued at a career-high €25m (£22.1m) by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jeremie-frimpong/marktwertverlauf/spieler/484547), Frimpong has been in fine form this season, contributing to a career-best [eight](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jeremie-frimpong/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/484547) league goals already this season, and [12](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jeremie-frimpong/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/484547) in all competitions.

He has been Leverkusen’s second-best player with an average match rating of 7.10/10, as per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/36/Show/Germany-Bayer-Leverkusen) metics, which is better than United’s current two right-backs [Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/32/Show/England-Manchester-United).

Frimpong has [more assists](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/36/Show/Germany-Bayer-Leverkusen) than the Red Devils duo [combined](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/32/Show/England-Manchester-United) and can also play [further forward](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jeremie-frimpong/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/484547) if required, so a move could be a shrewd one by United. By the looks of it, they may go back in for the former Manchester City youngster, similar to how they [brought Jadon Sancho back](https://web.archive.org/web/20210727085005/https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/57827831) to England from Germany after an earlier spell in the Etihad Stadium academy.
