Manchester United are not ready to admit defeat in the battle to sign Kieran Trippier.
A rotation right back is a key priority for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, as he does not want to burn out Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
According to The Sun, Trippier was searching for homes in the Manchester area early in the summer.
He has a great desire to return to his home country and be near his family after a successful stint with Atletico Madrid.
However, the Spanish champions will not budge on wanting his £34 million release clause paid.
Marca reports Trippier wants to leave Atletico, but a deal can only be done if the finances are right, and if Atleti can secure a replacement.
