Manchester United reportedly 'tried until the last minute' of the summer transfer window to sign Kieran Trippier.
The Red Devils were strongly linked with the Atletico Madrid defender over the summer, but the deadline passed with the England international still at Wanda Metropolitano.
A recent report claimed that Man United will reignite their interest in the 30-year-old when the January transfer window opens for business.
According to AS, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side 'tried until the last minute' to secure Trippier's signature but were ultimately frustrated in their pursuit of his services.
The report claims that Atletico boss Diego Simeone views the former Manchester City youngster as a 'vital' player for the La Liga champions, who will return to domestic action away to Espanyol on September 12.
The defender, who has made three league appearances this term, has a contract at Wanda Metropolitano until June 2023, and it is understood that his release clause is set at €60m (£51.5m).
