It would signify a big blow for United, who gave the impression to be near signing the right-back in June earlier than the transfer stalled. Deals for Mason Mount, who signed in a £60m deal from Chelsea, and goalkeeper Andre Onana have been prioritised as an alternative.

But Ten Hag has proven some dissatisfaction along with his present choices at right-back final season, with Diogo Dalot establishing himself as United's first-choice right-back early within the marketing campaign. After the Portuguese's damage, Aaron Wan-Bissaka was introduced again into the fold and impressed in direction of the tip of the season.

It was thought Frimpong may present the 53-year-old with an attacking improve in that place to exchange Wan-Bissaka, who had been backed to rejoin his former membership Crystal Palace, with Ten Hag agreeing with the owners to sign a new right-back.

Instead, it seems as if the Red Devils must have a look at different choices if Arsenal make progress of their pursuit.
