Erik ten Hag has instructed Manchester United to sell four defenders this summer as the club advance with their plans to sign Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen.
The Dutch defender recently dropped a hint about his future by insisting that his next move would have the priority of winning titles. Frimpong was initially linked with a move to the Red Devils in November and talks are ongoing between the two clubs over a deal.
Yet United must clear out defenders first with a lot of players on their books who are not in Ten Hag’s plans. United will listen to offers for club captain Harry Maguire while Eric Bailly, currently on loan at Marseille, and left-back duo Brandon Williams and Alex Telles also to be moved on.
