There was official offer but I have decided to stay with Eintracht Frankfurt, reveals Kevin Trapp
Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp has confirmed reports that he has rejected an offer to sign for Manchester United and has decided to stay with Eintracht this summer. The German has been heavily linked with a move to England this summer amidst rumours of interest from the Red Devils.
Having let Dean Henderson leave on loan this summer, it has left Manchester United with no proper back-up to David De Gea with the exception of Tom Heaton. That combined with De Gea’s stuttering start to the season has seen the club heavily linked with moves for a back-up with Yann Sommer, Kevin Trapp and a few others on their shortlist. But reports have indicated that Eintracht Frankfurt’s Trapp was their top target with the 32-year-old reportedly open to the move.
