Manchester United are set to renew their interest in Atletico Madrid right-back Kieran Trippier, according to reports.

The Red Devils were linked with a move for the England international throughout the summer.

Trippier's versatility was seen as another plus point, with the former Tottenham man able to play at right-back, left-back or as a wing-back on either side.

Wan-Bissaka has struggled so far this season and the Atletico defender could go straight into United's first-choice XI if he joins the club in the winter window.

AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund were linked with Dalot in the summer, but United did not want to sell the Portuguese unless they were able to strike a deal for Trippier.

"There was a lot of speculation and it is what it is in the media but I was with England  [at Euro 2020] and that was my only focus," he said last month.

"Then I came back to Madrid, straight into pre-season. But I would love to play the Premier League again [one day]. I wanted to come to get my career back on track. I’ve done that.”
