Manchester United have been forced to take a step back in their pursuit of Kevin Trapp due to Eintracht Frankfurt's asking price for the goalkeeper.
Erik ten Hag is an admirer of Trapp, 32, who is an experienced shot-stopper and boasts a respectable CV from his time with Eintracht and Paris Saint-Germain. The United manager is on the lookout for a new option between the posts to push David de Gea.
Ten Hag has long-standing concerns over De Gea's ability to play the ball out with his feet and these will have only worsened given his dismal outing against Brentford earlier this month. It is hoped a new back-up goalkeeper could help the Spaniard rediscover his best form at Old Trafford, or at least provide the Red Devils with greater strength in depth.
