Atletico Madrid fullback Trippier keen to hear from Man Utd

Atletico Madrid fullback Kieran Trippier is keen to hear from Manchester United.

With just 18 months left on his Atletico Madrid contract, the England international is said to fancy a return to the Northwest.

The Manchester Evening News says Trippier grew up in Greater Manchester and starred for Burnley after coming through Manchester City's academy.

A move to Old Trafford 'appeals' to the right-back.

Atletico were previously said to want just £20million for the 30-year-old, roughly the same fee they paid Tottenham for his services last year.

But Diego Simeone's charge to the LaLiga title, with the side sat second with two games in hand, may force a re-think if a bid lands.
