Trippier: Manchester United Wanted To Sign Me
Newcastle united fullback Kieran Trippier has revealed that Manchester United were keen on bringing him.
Trippier left Atletico Madrid for Newcastle earlier this January market.
He told the Athletic: “After the Euros, there was a serious interest in me.
I should be more careful with my words because I don't want any more trouble, but Manchester United were interested in me.
"We had talks, but Atlético wanted me to be paid the full release clause, which is a lot of money for a 30-year-old player, so I understand why Manchester United dropped the idea of signing me.
"There were options with other clubs, but now I don't care anymore."
