Man Utd plot double Bayer Leverkusen raid! Red Devils monitoring Jeremie Frimpong & Edmond Tapsoba to boost Erik ten Hag's defence

The Red Devils are planning a double Bayer Leverkusen raid in the summer of 2024 as they plan to sign their defensive duo Frimpong and Tapsoba, according to Manchester Evening News. Both defenders recently signed new deals with the club and their contracts run until June 2028.

The Red Devils were linked with a move for right full-back Frimpong last summer but they did not place a formal bid eventually after Aaron Wan-Bissaka showed improvement in his performance midway into the 2022/23 season and Diego Dalot agreed to sign a new contract.

With speculations regarding Raphael Varane's future at the club beyond the current season, the club are looking for a new central defender with Tapsoba one of the key candidates on their shortlist.

In their recent rout of Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, Tapsoba featured in Xabi Alonso's starting lineup while Frimpong came from the bench to score a late goal to complete a convincing 3-0 win.

With back-to-back wins over West Ham and Aston Villa, a confident United side will next take on Luton Town in the Premier League on Sunday.
