Manchester United’s transfer plans for the summer continue to take shape, with the club focusing on strengthening key areas of the squad ahead of next season.
While much of the attention has been on potential central defensive targets, the right-back position has also come into focus.
United’s current options have shown promise but a new addition is still on the cards as manager Ruben Amorim looks to add competition and depth to the squad.

The summer transfer window is expected to be a busy one for many Premier League clubs, and United will need to move quickly to secure their top targets.
With the growing interest in defensive reinforcements across Europe, it’s no surprise that the right-back spot has emerged as an area of focus for several big clubs, including United rivals, Liverpool.
Liverpool, however, appear to be making the most significant strides in the race for one of the most sought-after right-backs in Europe.
Jeremie Frimpong, who has impressed at Bayer Leverkusen with his attacking flair and solid defensive contributions, is reportedly close to securing a move to Anfield.

The Reds have reportedly entered advanced discussions with the Bundesliga side over the structure of Frimpong’s €35m release clause, and the player himself is said to be eager to make the switch to Merseyside, as per Fabrizio Romano via X.
Despite Manchester United’s initial interest in Jeremie Frimpong, it now appears that the Red Devils’ pursuit of the 23-year-old may be on the back burner.
Liverpool’s rapid progression in negotiations, combined with Frimpong’s reported preference for a move to Arne Slot’s side, has seen United’s chances of securing the player diminish.
The Dutch defender’s attacking style has caught the eye of many top European clubs, and it seems as though Liverpool’s quick action could see them win the race for his signature.
With Frimpong keen to join the Premier League, United may have to look elsewhere to reinforce their defence.
