Fabrizio Romano is usually pretty bang on. People still think we could bring Trippier home?

Atlético Madrid turned down an opening proposal from Manchester United for Kieran Trippier. Price tag still around €40m to sell the right back. #MUFC #Atleti

...and Tom Heaton completed his medical with Manchester United today - he’s set to sign until June 2023. Red circle #ManUtd

It would be great to see Tripps back in the PL even if it was with Man Utd.

Heats going there will be an experienced back up for De Gea and Henderson, unless of course Ole is thinking of cashing in on DDG.

I just checked and De Gea has been at OT for a decade now, I hadn't realised he'd been there that long how time flies.

It’s hard to believe it’s eight years since Ferguson retired

A lot of money for someone who is 30 and wouldn't be a guaranteed starter with Wan Bissaka as the first choice.

it's a 35 million buy out clause for Trippier, I wouldn't expect Athletico would get more than 20-25 for him though

I saw that. Made me feel a bit stupid for thinking we might re-sign him on a free next year.

No way they’ll get €40m for a player who cost half that, is now two years older and is ooc next summer. If I were him I’d stay and call Man United next summer.

One of DdG or Henderson is leaving for sure. Tom will be No.2.

Read somewhere that OGS was looking at playing Wan Bissaka as a 3rd CH. Maybe looking at Tripps as a wing back ?

Well De Gea is the bigger earner, and also a good few years older, so I suspect if Utd can they'll try and move him on this summer.

Heaton is a perfectly adequate number 2, and he may even be in contention for the regular spot if he shows the form he did well at Burnley.

Lee Grant but I think he’s leaving along with Sergio Romero.

Aren't United extending Grants contract?

I thought he was going and Tom was replacing him. But he had been doing some coaching there as well I think.

To be fair, I only saw comments like that when we thought we might get bought out by a consortium who actually had money!

From the BBC gossip column.

Paris St-Germain have joined Manchester United in hoping to sign England full-back Kieran Trippier, 30, from Atletico Madrid.

They had offered him a contract extension, but then withdrew it according to a report I read recently, quoting the man himself.
