Seven Man Utd transfers Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants answers for as trio set for January exits<\/h3>\n

Manchester United or Chelsea could take advantage of a bargain transfer opportunity next summer, with Jeremie Frimpong’s Bayer Leverkusen contract reportedly containing a modest release clause. The marauding full-back is putting up superb numbers in the Bundesliga this season as Xabi Alonso’s side look set for a title battle with Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

Now into his fourth season at Leverkusen, Frimpong has registered 13 goal contributions in his last 17 matches. The 22-year-old can operate at right-back, right wing-back or as a fully-fledged winger.<\/p>\n

United boss Erik ten Hag is rumoured to be a long-standing admirer, so Frimpong signing a five-year deal back in October will have come as a bitter blow to senior figures at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

However, Sky Germany are reporting that the long-term deal includes a \u00a334.6million release clause, which becomes active next summer. Leverkusen may regret setting the bar so low given Frimpong’s scintillating form.<\/p>\n

The report adds that Frimpong is ‘very keen’ on a move elsewhere and could be tempted by the prospect of playing in the Premier League. Ten Hag counts Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka as his current right-back options.<\/p>\n

But the United boss’ tendency to play a back-four could work against his bid to lure Frimpong from Leverkusen. Chelsea are also understood to be fond of the Netherlands international, and their philosophy of offering lucrative long-term contracts to youngsters may turn the dial in their favour.<\/p>\n
