100% tackles, 10 duels won, 6 recoveries: United should now sign£33m star, dream player for right wing-back

Manchester United will likely make several changes to the squad during the summer transfer window.

A marquee striker could be one of the priorities, given the lack of regular goals in the Premier League this term.

Manager Ruben Amorim may also want a new right wing-back more suited to his playing style.

Sporting CP wonderkid Geovany Quenda was deemed the perfect fit, but he has agreed to join Chelsea instead.

United must quickly find an alternative, and we recently covered that Jeremie Frimpong would be a dream player.

The Bayer Leverkusen star has an affordable £33 million release clause on his contract, and United should capitalise.

Frimpong has made 15 goal contributions from the right wing-back role for Leverkusen this campaign.

He started as a right winger for the Netherlands against Spain on Thursday and showed his class with a sublime display.

The Manchester City graduate won 10 ground and aerial duels. He made six recoveries and won 100 percent of his tackles.

Attacking wise, he was brilliant too. Frimpong completed four successful dribbles and created four big chances for his teammates.

He also assisted Tijjani Reijnders in putting the Netherlands ahead in the 46th minute.

Yesterday’s performance showed why Frimpong is one of the best wing-backs in world football.

He started as a winger for Ronald Koeman’s side but helped out right-back Lutsharel Geertruida at different phases of the game.

Premier League rivals Liverpool are determined to sign the Dutchman, and United must be proactive to prise him away before the Reds.

Having missed out on Quenda, the club can’t afford to play the waiting game on Frimpong, who appears an ideal right wing-back solution.
