Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp has revealed why he rejected an approach from Premier League heavyweights Manchester United.

The Red Devils are on the lookout for a new goalkeeper to provide competition and cover for David de Gea and had shown interest on Trapp.

The German was pivotal in Frankfurt’s Europa League win last season and despite initially mulling over a switch to the Premier League, he has opted to stay put.

Speculation regarding Trapp’s future was so fierce that the 32-year-old announced his decision via a message on the club’s twitter account.

“There have been a lot of reports about interest from Manchester United.

“It’s true that a written offer was tabled. Since it came from such a world-famous club, of course I considered it.

“Yesterday I informed the management of both clubs that I’ve decided to stay at Eintracht. We’ve made history here together and experienced some unforgettable things. I have absolute faith in us!”

Unlike United, Trapp will turn out for Eintracht in the Champions League following their Europa League success against Rangers in May.

He made a return to Eintracht in 2019 after initially leaving the club in 2015 to sign for Paris Saint-Germain, where he spent four years.

Trapp was part of the PSG side that were beaten in the infamous 6-1 Champions League Round of 16 clash against Barcelona at the Nou Camp in 2017.

With the door now firmly closed on a deal for Trapp, United have wasted no time in turning their attention elsewhere with Newcastle United’s Martin Dubravka a possibility.
