Jeremie Frimpong is reportedly a transfer target for Manchester United.

The former Celtic full-back - currently at Bayer Leverkusen - has been linked with a switch to the Premier League side.

Frimpong, 22, left Celtic in January 2021 for an undisclosed transfer fee thought to be worth up to £11.5m.

However, it's reported Celtic retained a sell-on fee in the deal with the Bundesliga club meaning any future moves could land a significant windfall.

Now, Manchester United are claimed to have opened talks with Frimpong's agent over a move to Old Trafford.

Sky Sports journalist Florian Plattenberg reports that talks were "very positive" between the club and the former Manchester City youngster's representatives.

He tweeted: "Excl. News #Frimpong: Talks between his agent Jeffrey Lemmert and @ManUtd have started! 1st round was very positive.

"Ten Hag admires the player. Frimpong is open to leave Leverkusen in summer. Contract until 2025.

"Top season of the 22 y/o: 8 / 9 !"

Similarly, reporter for German outlet Sport1 Patrick Berger has claimed Bayer Leverkusen have sealed a deal for Brazilian right-back Arthur with Frimpong potentially leaving in the summer.

He states: "Done deal : Arthur will be a new Bayer Leverkusen player in summer.

"The 20yo Brazilian right-back completed medicals in. América MG get a fee of €7m. Contract until 2028.

"Jeremie Frimpong (interest from ManUnited) and/or Timothy Fosu-Mensah could leave the club."
