# Manchester United: Sky Sports share interest in Kevin Trapp

**[Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/) are ‘interested’ in a move for Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, according to [Sky Sports](https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews/status/1561963753314426880).**

### The Lowdown: Trapp profiled

Trapp, labelled as [‘magnificent’](https://twitter.com/Buntingfootball/status/1527041121771208705) in this year’s Europa League final by journalist Josh Bunting, is 32 years of age and has been with Frankfurt since 2019. The Germany international, sponsored by [Adidas](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kevin-trapp/profil/spieler/45672), is under contract until [2024](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kevin-trapp/profil/spieler/45672).

He has previously plied his trade with Paris Saint-Germain and has made [261](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kevin-trapp/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/45672) appearances for his current employers across two separate spells.

### The Latest: United interest

[Sky Sports](https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews/status/1561963753314426880) provided an on-air update regarding United’s transfer business on Tuesday morning.

They said that the Red Devils are ‘expected’ to go back in with a new offer for Ajax winger Antony and added that the club are ‘also interested’ in Trapp but haven’t held formal talks or made an official offer so far.

### The Verdict: Needed

Erik ten Hag could do with bringing in a new goalkeeper to rival David de Gea after allowing Dean Henderson to join Nottingham Forest on loan earlier in the window.

Trapp has plenty of experience in [Germany and France](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kevin-trapp/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/45672), so providing he is willing to play second choice to De Gea initially, could be a perfect addition at Old Trafford.

De Gea hasn’t had the best of starts to the current campaign with a big error against Brentford, so Trapp could feel there’s a chance for him to get plenty of game time, especially with United in a number of different competitions.
