Manchester United and Napoli are both interested in Kieran Trippier's signing for Tottenham this summer, according to reports in Italy.

Aged 28, he is a regular member of the Spurs team. He has played in 25 Premier League games, more than any other season since coming to Burnley in 2015.

The English defender still has three years to go on the contract that he signed in 2017, but it seems like there are clubs running in circles trying to tempt him out of North London.

According to the Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, we could witness a fight between the Red Devils and the Naples team on behalf of the Spurs.

United is expected to be in the back-row market this summer, after being beaten at this position during the season.

Antonio Valencia fell out of favor ahead of Jose Mourinho and had injury problems, while the Ecuadorian hinted he was heading for the Old Trafford exit.

Matteo Darmian and Diogo Dalot have also been deployed in this position, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may want to improve his options.

Crystal Palace's Aaron Wan-Bissaka has also been closely badociated with a move to United, while Arsenal and Manchester City are also interested in his services.

Trippier was signed by Burnley in 2015 for approximately 3.5 million pounds. He then made 108 appearances in all competitions for the Spurs.

His performances earned him a place in the English World Cup 2018 team and he opened the scoring memorable in the semifinal as England lost to Croatia.

The Manchester City youth product may be of interest, but negotiations would only begin after the end of the season as the Spurs continue to fight for the Champions League and one of the four first places in the Premier League.
