Kieran Trippier is ready to be patient to seal a move to Manchester United this summer, claims The Daily Telegraph.
The 30-year-old is keen to return to the Premier League after two seasons with Atletico Madrid and his family have even relocated back in England.
United have earmarked Trippier as a top transfer target this summer to provide competition for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must now shift some deadwood at Old Trafford to free up any further funds for new additions this summer.
United have spent over £100m to sign Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane and Trippier is aware players must now go before they can pursue him.
Atletico have so far demanded over £30m for Trippier but United are hoping to sign the England international for a fraction of the price.
Trippier expects a deal to go down the wire, with a month still to go in the summer transfer window.

Atletico paid in the region of £20m to sign Trippier from Tottenham two years ago and the right-back is arguably now in career-best form.
England manager Gareth Southgate hailed Trippier's development at Euro 2020 and his heart his now set on a move to Old Trafford.
Trippier finished last season in the WhoScored Team of the Season in La Liga, as Atletico beat Real Madrid and Barcelona to the league title.
