Can’t believe we signed Darmian over him, if anything Trippier playing style would suit LVG football much more than Darmian. Our recruitment was so bad under LVG & Jose. Clueless and all over the place.
Kieran Trippier / signed for Newcastle

What happens to Ethan Laird in this case, then? I thought he was supposed to be AWB's understudy.
Weird. We have Williams and Awb. Thought we'd be focusing on them. Or are we prepping for Pochettino? VDB also seems like an Alli type of player. I just don't get this link when we have 3 right backs and one promising youth
Loan him out for a season?
Though to be honest i doubt we are seriously after a right back when we have awb, tfm, dalot, Williams and laird
Jaysus. Evans and Tripper. Arsenalisatioñ will be well and truly complete.
He had a torrid last season for Spurs. I'm not a Spurs fan but I remember him making me want to tear my hair out.
He's been very good for Atletico by all counts. Pleased for him personally. That said, he plays for one of the best coaches defensive wise in the world. I'm not convinced we would see the best of him under current management.
Plus, would we be signing him as a backup or as a starter, and what does that mean for Wan B?

Wing back?
Awb in the defence with maguire plus another (Shaw?)
Trippier and telles as wing backs
Pogba / vdb alongside matic / Fred in midfield
Bruno as a 10
Rushford plus one of martial / cavani / greenwood up top?
Yeah I'm not convinced
Pointless signing.
Brexit FC dream signings....
It doesn´t get the muppets salivating at all, but we have no option to AWB right now and we are suffering for it. There are of course other options out there but Kieran is a decent option IMO.
Worrying times if we get linked with Evans and Trippier after failing to progess to the CL knockout stages
Trippier is a better RB than AWB in every aspect except slide-tackling, which he won’t need as much due to his better positioning anyway. Would really welcome this. Maybe swap AWB to Atleti?
A good squad player, will give much needed competition to AWB also.
If we can get him fairly cheap then I think why not.

I'd agree
Not this nonsense again
I'd find it hard to believe he would leave a side who looked the best place to win La Liga this year to join us and our a potential CL winner also. Is he homesick that much that he wants to go?
He's played alot of games for them this season too

Would rather bring back Dalot next season.
So you think he'd rush back to Manchester to play for the other club while leaving a club that's absolutely flying? I don't see it happening and at 30 he's the opposite of building a youthful team that has years to develop.
Us being linked with him doesn’t really tally with us apparently wanting Pochettino, does it? It’s only a year or two since he moved him on from Spurs.
Partey says hello...
No idea.
bizarre deal if it's true, buy a 30-year-old full-back whose best years are behind him. He's not likely to be cheap in wages and im guessing wouldn't be free and wouldn't get in our 1st team.
Really hope this is nonsense!
Really hope this is nonsense!
Looks like he's actually having his best year right now.
yes but it's going to downhill for him, you very rarely get good full-backs playing well into their mid 30's. So it would be really short term signing to provide competition for Wan Bisska who has been one of our most consistent performers over the bast 18months.
It would just be a waste of money when other areas of pitch need money spent on them.
For me, he would be an horrendous signing. Absolutely horrid.
Would show so much lack of ambition from the club as a whole.
1. He's not very good currently
2. He's not getting any better
3. As turd as AWB is, he's still better than Trippier
Trippier looked like he couldnt kick a football in his last season for Spurs, it was a miracle anyone wanted to pay 30pence for him, yet alone a big move to a big club. He's playing ok in a poorer league where Barca and Real are stinking the place out. For a very narrow team, who only play defensive bore football. The Premier League would ruin him - he couldnt handle it in his last season for spurs and after an easier league, he'd be out of his depth.
yes he can cross the ball - but thats about it.

Player I would've liked a few years ago.
I fear he would look rubbish again back here though and if we do end up signing him it still says to me our recruitment is poor after spending 50 million on AWB. AWB is very limited, a club like United need more, if only we could combine the two then great. Best thing to do instead of having a very expensive but limited right back and getting in a soon to be 31 year old is buy properly first time.
Saying that I wouldn't mind him to give us some more attacking threat and be a squad player.

Blimey, Evans wasn't and is still not, reliable enough to play for United.
Would be a good squad player, excellent going forwards, not sure how good he is defensively. Shame we didn't sign him a few years ago.
A part of me thinks we should be signing someone younger though.

Top player. Bullshit link. No way he is leaving an assured starting berth in a sunny country for cold manchester.
If he wants to, that in itself should be reason not to pursue cuz would show his state of mind is not right.
All kidding aside, if we are having defensive problems with AWB on the right, how will Trippier fare here? It's not a coincidence that he is doing well there under Simeone.
Tbf to AWB. He only suffered in our last game because it was a wing back role and for once he had no clue what he was doing. I wouldn't say he is a liability defensively
He has 18 months left on his deal and has a young family. I think it's probably more likely that they are homesick and want to return to England rather than a burning desire to play for us tbf. He's a huge upgrade on spider legs though to be honest.
Have you seen his positioning this season?
We played 4 at the back against Sevilla and he had no clue what he was doing.
This post is so untrue it’s unreal. Atlético are my distant second team so I watch all their games except when we are playing simultaneously, and I can say three things:
1) Atletico are far from a narrow, defensive team. They are a counter-attacking one who use width very well with the likes of Lodi, Hermoso, Trippier, Lemar, Vitolo, Carrasco, Llorente etc to get crosses in to the strikers. Trippier is playing a prominent role in the team, and he is playing well up and down the right flank.
2) Trippier is quite a bit better than AWB. He has more technical ability in his little fingers than AWB, and is better defensively than AWB in everything aside from slide tackling. As i said in a prior post, he won’t even need that as much due to his superior defensive positioning. For one, he can actually win headers at the back post and mark the left winger.
3) Simeone is the coach most well-renowned across the world for world class defensive play in his teams. In fact, Atleti have only conceded 2 La Liga goals this season, of which Trippier has played a big part in. If he’s as bad as you say, why did Cholo buy him?
Also, the way you demean La Liga is just weird. Seriously, what is the proof for your arrogant belief that the Premier League is so much better than La Liga? All in all, Trippier had a bad 2018-19 season, and rediscovered his form in a league at a similar level to ours. Signing him will show ambition, not a lack of it, as we will be greatly upgrading a position, and at a probably relatively low price too.
Would welcome Trippier here.
Unless he has improved immensely in his time at Atletico, Trippier is just average.
@RashyForPM
I have limited posts as a newbie so editing this one instead...
Agree that AWB is poor at crossing and overlapping, so the issue is really why the feck does Ole not instruct him to stay back!!
Sure we would have known about this weakness when we forked out £50m for him, did Ole expect to improve this aspect of his game? How come it hasn't improved at all in 1.5 seasons?
Regardless of who's the better player, maybe they should play to their strengths. Bruno and Rashford are the only player that I can remember doing so.

He has improved, although not immensely. I’d say he’s at his 2018 World Cup form now, making him a decent RB who can attack and defend at a consistently 7/10 level. Better than average in that case. Still though, he is better than AWB imo. AWB is nothing more than a brilliant 1v1 defender who is poor at almost every other aspect of top level football.
Sorry not to disrespect sidebacks positions. But this is not the most important position of a team. That are the central spine position. A team can win the league with a Bissaka level of a right back. Same as Shaw as left back.
But if your CMs, CBs, G and CFs are 4 out 5 points. I think it hard to win the league.
From what i have observed. United need to strength the CB and CMs options. Special if
Pogba is leaving.
And about United current CBs options. I am not convinced they are good enough to win premier league.
If Bailly stay injury free. And if het get more composure with and without the ball. No rush and poor decisions. I still Bailly max potential and level are high. Bailly is really fast and is good one on one. He just need to know when to all in for a tackle, and know when to hold it back.
So back to Trippier and new side back. Personally for me. It’s not necessary. Because i am satisfy with United current RB options : Bissaka, Williams and Dalot out on loan. I would use that money for a new CM and RW.
United current RBs options are good enough for top 4 and i think good enough to win the league too. Trippier will not strength alot. Just with better crosser.
I would use Trippier money to. Swap Pogba + money for De Ligt. De Ligt is only 21. But already has been established as one of the best CB. A key and big signing United need to do. Because yeah. Lindelof, Bailly and Maguire. They are giving me a feeling. United need to upgrade the cbs options.
And in the end. You can’t only blame Bissaka for Uniteds ch.league exit. Even he could do better when Leipzig score first goal. Reasons for United ch.league exit were the lost in Turkey and Ole selection and tactic against Leipzig.
Two left back in line up. It said a lot. How defensive mindset you went into the game. Because if you counter attack. Drop one left back and go for a super fast left winger.
With the players available. I would line up 451 against Leipzig. If i still want to stay tight, compact and counter.
Bissaka - Lindelof - Maguire - Telles + Greenwood- Beek - McTom - Bruno - Rashford + Ighalo
Another 5 midfield option are : Greenwood- McTom- Matic- Bruno - Beek + Rashford
In defensive it is a 451 formation. In offensive 451 turn out to be 433 formation.
451 formation is a tight and compact formation with 2 super fast wingers to counter attack. The wide players/wingers shall press the opponents attack into the centre where the field are tight. Instead United and Ole used a 3412 formation where Bissaka and Telles track back and left the midfield very open. Because it was easy to pass United midfield. With only cm players and no wide players. United 2 CF and a Cam were easy to pass. 3412 formation is not a tight and compact formation, compare to the 451/433 formation.
So i don’t know if the link and rumors is true. But if the link is after United ch.league exit and that was the reason for a new RB. Then like i said above. I would give a vote against a new RB. I am satisfy with United current RB options. Clearly enough from me about a new RB. Williams shall just start deliver performance on the training pitch to give Bissaka competition. And Dalot does look promising too. Trippier is not a big level up and upgrade.
United league form is really good and on the way to become consistent, in a good way. A Trippier is unnecessary.

Good full-back. Experienced and miles better going forward than Wan Bissaka
But why would he leave a team fighting to be La Liga Champions for a Premier League club who deems fourth place success?
Unless he wants to be back home i cant see it happen....

He's been one of the best RBs in La Liga this season and we need some competition for AWB big time
Having said that no chance Athleti will want him to leave nor do I think Trippier will want to because of how well he's done there
