Atletico Madrid fullback Kieran Trippier is acting on plans for his move to Manchester United.

The Sun says Trippier is in talks to buy a £3million mansion — from England team-mate Raheem Sterling.

The defender, 30, who is on the verge of a move to Old Trafford, has been chatting to Manchester City star Sterling about a possible deal for the luxury pad.

United believe they are in the final stages of securing a deal worth £18m.

A source said: “Kieran wants to move back to the UK from Spain and if the deal to Old Trafford goes through he will need to act fast.

“He and Raheem have spoken about the property. If Raheem departs at the same time it makes perfect sense to sell it on quickly — and privately — to Kieran."
