Manchester United are interested in Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong, according to Sky Germany.
Frimpong – who is under contract with the Bundesliga club until June 2025 – has excelled under Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso this season.
The former Liverpool midfielder has deployed the 21-year-old as a right wing-back since taking charge earlier in the season, with Frimpong responding with eight goals and nine assists in all competitions this season.

The former Manchester City and Celtic defender scored again last weekend as Leverkusen beat Schalke 3-0, with Alonso’s side now seventh in the Bundesliga as they chase European qualification.
Frimpong’s displays earned him a place in the Netherlands squad for the World Cup but – under former United boss Louis van Gaal – he failed to make an appearance.

Frimpong is still waiting to make his international debut and was left out of new Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman’s first squad for last month’s Euro 2024 Qualifiers.
Frimpong began his career at City but failed to make a first-team appearance before joining Celtic in September 2019.
