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.
