Trippier’s family are planning to move from Madrid to the North West this summerKieran Trippier fears that Atletico Madrid will price him out of a dream move to Manchester United this summer. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the United manager, is keen to strengthen his squad in the close season after failing to win silverware in his second full campaign in charge. The Norwegian, 48, had not initially intended to sign a right back, but is intrigued by the prospect of bringing Trippier to Old Trafford and would be keen to do a deal if the price is acceptable. SponsoredThe Times understands that United are unwilling to meet Atletico’s present valuation, which is in excess of £20 million, however. Diego Simeone, the Atletico manager, is a big fan of Trippier and is reluctant to let the 30-year-old depart.
