Manchester United summer target Atletico Madrid’s Kieran Trippier
Ever since his move to Atletico Madrid, Kieran Trippier has improved his game in both attack and defense. Trippier has raised his assists per 90 minutes from 0.12 at Tottenham Hotspur to 0.22 at Atletico Madrid.
The former Spurs player has remained consistent at bombarding crosses into the 18-yard-box. He has better numbers compared to Aaron Wan Bissaka, who has less experience in the English top-flight.

"Matches Played: 28 Goals scored: 0 Assists: 6 (Stats via fbref)"
Trippier ticks all the boxes for Manchester United. He is not only an excellent player on the ball, but he is good at aerial duels and at tackling as well. Also, Trippier is great at set-pieces.
The Red Devils’ attack came from the left-flank for most of 2020/21. Kieran Trippier can stretch the opposition’s defense on the right and help the team exploit spaces.
With his vast experience, the former Spurs player can help Ole Gunnar Solskjaer solve the infamous issue faced on the flank.
