Newcastle United defender Kieran Trippier has revealed how he nearly joined Manchester United before his switch to the North East. The right-back signed for Newcastle from Atletico Madrid in January, but he could have made a move to Manchester just six months before.
In an exclusive interview with the Mirror, Trippier was asked if the Red Devils were interested in signing him last summer. “Yes they were," he said.
"There were a couple of clubs. Me and the manager (Diego Simeone) had a chat at the start of the season and agreed if an opportunity came up I might go.
