Liverpool and Manchester United have both shown initial interest in Bayer Leverkusen wing-back Jeremy Frimpong, but neither club is expected to make a move for him this summer, according to former Man United chief scout Mick Brown.

Speaking to Football Insider, Brown revealed that both clubs are in the market for a new right-back, yet concerns over Frimpong’s defensive reliability have led them to explore alternative options.

Liverpool’s search for a right-back is reportedly influenced by uncertainty surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future. The 26-year-old’s contract expires at the end of the season, and with little progress on a renewal, speculation continues to grow about a possible move to Real Madrid.

As a result, while Frimpong’s attacking qualities are highly regarded, Liverpool are expected to look elsewhere for a replacement if Alexander-Arnold departs.
