PSG are challenging Manchester United for Atletico Madrid fullback Kieran Trippier.

The 30-year-old Atletico Madrid defender has emerged as one of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's summer targets as he looks for reinforcements at the back to try to close the gap on rivals Manchester City next season.

But they will have to fend off interest from Ligue 1 giants PSG if they are to acquire the full back's services, says France Football.

PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino knows the defender well after working with him for four years at Tottenham between 2015 and 2019.

The report claims that the French outfit could have the advantage of having greater financial clout to give Atletico what they want - £43million - for a player they signed from Spurs two years ago and who still has two years left on his current deal.

Trippier has become an integral part of Diego Simeone's LaLiga side and made 28 appearances in their title-winning 2020-21 campaign, providing six assists in the process.
