Manchester United 'remain interested in Kieran Trippier'

Atletico Madrid defender Kieran Trippier is reportedly still a transfer target for Manchester United.

The 30-year-old has been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford during this summer's transfer window, with the Red Devils thought to be keen to sign another full-back before the end of the month.

Trippier's existing deal at Wanda Metropolitano is due to expire in June 2023, but Atletico are believed to value the England international at £30m, which had seemingly priced him out of a return to the Premier League.

The right-back has impressed since making the move to Spain, and he was a second-half substitute in Atletico's 2-1 win over Celta Vigo on the opening weekend of the new La Liga season.

Talk of a move to Man United has cooled in recent days, but according to English journalist Jonathan Shrager, there is still interest from the 20-time English champions.

Shrager claims that 'there is a chance it may happen', although Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have not made any progress when it comes to a possible deal for the former Manchester City youngster.

Trippier, who is also allegedly being tracked by Arsenal, made five appearances for England at this summer's European Championship, contributing one assist.
