If we sign him, Ole could play again 3-5-2 which went into the bin after the Leipzig disaster.

The joke is on you. AWB has been our undisputed RB for two years now and that won't change. Trippier will get his fair share of games but there's no doubt AWB will have more starts and by a decent margin too.
Sorry Ole, no offence intended
I see it more as there is no viable alternative for AWB so there’s no choice but to start him. Williams has regressed post re-start.
Tripier would be good and I'd expect him to replace AWB in our starting line-up. With proper coaching, we should be able to rotate the two for when it suits the opposition as well - attacking for Tripier and more defensive with AWB against the better teams.
It would also be great to get another league winner in the squad. And he can fill in at LB should we decide to sell Telez although I don't expect to see that.

We need to get Laird back from loan. He seems to be over his injury problems and he will get enough games over the season
Sign Trippier quickly so AWB has some competition.
One of us. One of us.
I wonder which one then "let it slip" to a journo? Such an easy story to write at this time of year isn't it

Why haven't Utd offered Dalot in this deal? I think both clubs could benefit.
Hopefully this isn't true.
My Spurs following fan wanted him gone due to his lack of pace but I always thought Trips was a good player.
However, at 30 years of age, what's the point? He'll be in decline very soon. Surely its better to invest in the future?
Plus AWB is fine there. Trips might be better player but he's also much older.

If utd get a good right winger ie sancho. Do we need increase our attacking output from right back too .. I'd be more than happy with sancho staying up in attack and wan sitting back. I understand signing a better attacking right back if we are sticking with greenwood and the other options we currently have for right wing.. Ideally if we have money to spare signing both would be great. But surely we don't have money to spare when we have 3 or 4 positions that are in more need of upgrades than RB.

The point is we don’t have a ready made RB deputy and someone like Trippier offers you experience and great delivery from RB.
Look how much better out left flank has been with Shaws delivery into the box and overall game improving knowing he can rest when he needs to with a quality experienced back up now imagine having that on both flanks with the potential of having Sancho and Trippier there.
There’s no point us buying a young RB when we have Ethan Laird tearing up League 1 we’re far better off giving him breathing room to develop whilst giving our selves quality options to rotate between.
Our biggest issue isn’t really now first team quality we’ve shown we can beat most sides with our best XI but we need the depth to enable them to consistently play at a high tempo and level. Tired players = drop in performance levels. I wanted this transfer last season and I’d be delighted with it this season too.
The fact Trippier has been a good part of a title win now too makes it all the more appealing.
Trippier can deliver a ball from the right side. He's far better going forward and would change how teams set up against us in the final third.
There's a reason why clubs prefer to just give AWB the ball and defend from there.
Think the idea is to have Trippier as option for next 2-3 years, while AWB develops further more. AWB is still only 23 (24 in November), so buying someone younger would make less sense imo than buying 28-30 years old player, like Trippier or Telles last summer as back up to Shaw.
I'd be happy if we get Trippier, for reasonable fee and wages of course.
And they went straight to a mirror reporter to tell them.
I am still a little bit bemused at people unable to comprehend that he’s coming in to be backup, if he ends up as our main RB it’s because he’s earned it.
Pretty sure only Ole knows if he wants him as a backup or a starter.
Yep. This was extremely noticeable in the champions League and Vs city, Liverpool etc - they simply let AWB have the ball and back off, knowing we have absolutely ZERO threat down the right, and instead double up on whoever is in the middle for us, Bruno and Rashford.
True. But it would be at odds to his general way of how he sees the squad if he thought Trippier was the future. He’d play more often than Telles though I’d guess.
What about Max Aarons from norwich
He would cost a lot more.
Wouldn't make sense. AWB is the young player. The idea is to get a senior RB who won't interfere too much in the longer term.
You have to be trippin if you think a 30 year old for 15m is gonna be the main RB choice over a 23 year old signed for 50m
AWB been better offensivly recently, and with Sancho on the RW that will help with that as well.
I can see Trippier start against the relegation type teams (and early cup rounds) where we’ll have most of the possesion, but against any team with an good attacking threat AWB will be no1.
As backup goes he is one of the best though.

Yeah. Maybe fairer to say he will be competition for AWB and when it comes to the crunch, probably AWB will be preferred for big games. If Trippier can push hard enough to get 25 starts that will be great - two good options and hopefully fresh at RB all season.

I think it does a huge disservice to someone who has just won La Liga and is a full England international to resign him to relegation fodder. He’ll be a genuine potential starter for next season in more matches then I think most fans would suspect.
I always wonder how these journalist even get such scoop. He let it slip when Mail journalist was nearby?
He is a bit inspirational to be fair. I like how driven and determined he is. Playing for Barnsley/Burnley until he was 25. Earned himself a move to Spurs and played in the CL. Ended up going to the World Cup and getting to the semi final, before earning a move to one of Europe’s top clubs and winning La Liga.
A homecoming to play for a few years for his boyhood club seems like the perfect way to end it and I think he is the type of personality that would be very useful around the squad.

We’ve been trying to fix right back since Rafael was weirdly kicked out for no reason. Darmian, Dalot and Wan Bissaka have all come in and none have really convinced anyone, hence Young and Valencia remaining around into their mid-30s. If we do decide to fix it yet again, I’d rather we sorted it properly rather than putting a plaster on it for a year or two.
How much did Atletico sign Trippier for from Spurs?
Rafael was let go because he wasnt good enough either once Fergie went. Fergie worked his magic on him and some other players that fell off completely once he left at and after United.
£20m
Yeah, I might have been abit harsh , you make a good point
Because it implies Atletico have any interest in a 22 year old fullback who made 10 league starts this season.
If this and Sancho go through, we've really rebuilt our right hand side in one window. He's obviously a legit attacking option from fullback and gives teams something else to worry about.
Just having that balance will make us much more difficult to deal with.

This is my view of it. I would welcome the move but not sure why Trippier would want to unless he misses England that much over winning things and being a starter in Spain.
I doubt we'd double his salary or anything. Considering we don't raise salaries for players over 30.
In that case, I’d have thought Atletico will want a profit on what they paid for him considering the price always does increase whenever we are interested in a player. Having said that, if that rumoured £15M-£20M is what will get this deal done then that’s an absolute bargain in today’s market and we should try to get this done.
Sancho & Trippier is a great start to the window. Get a CB & DM as well and it’ll be a very good window.
how long has he got left on his deal? I bet it’s not 3 years, which is probably what we would offer him.
I agree, although I can only see us signing sancho with either a CB or CDM unless we sell players, I think the only way we sign all 4 of our targets and solve our problem positions is if we sell a few players first.
