Bayer Leverkusen director Rolfes aware of Man Utd interest for Frimpong: We're very relaxed

Bayer Leverkusen director Simon Rolfes says they're 'very relaxed' about Jeremie Frimpong amid reports linking him with Manchester United.

Erik ten Hag's side are on the lookout for a new right-back next year, with the Netherlands international one of those linked with a move to Old Trafford.

When asked specifically about links with a move to United, Rolfes told Sky Deutschland: “We are very relaxed with Jeremie. It would be fatal if he didn't draw attention to himself from big clubs with these performances.

“He is very conspicuous with his way of playing and is an enormously important player for us. I told him that he will still get his playing time with his quality within the tournament.

“He can decide a game with a single action because he's incredibly quick and good at dribbling. We'll be happy when he's back [after the World Cup] with us. Jeremie has a long-term contract at Leverkusen, so we're very relaxed."
