Manchester United are making a bid for Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp. According to German news outlet Sport Bild, United are interested in another Bundesliga-based goalkeeper, and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Kevin Trapp is subject to a bid to sign him. Sky Germany reported Manchester United had an interest in taking Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper to Old Trafford following the season-long loan move of Dean Henderson to Nottingham Forest. However, there were no official talks or offers.
Manchester United was always going to be looking to sign a goalkeeper following Dean Henderson’s loan move to Nottingham Forest. Still, with David de Gea’s poor performances early on this season, we may be seeing Erik ten Hag being given a shot as more of a backup option. Ten Hag hopes to bring another goalkeeper to compete with David de Gea before the transfer window closes. David De Gea, United’s first-choice keeper, is supposedly ill-suited to the playing style favoured by Eric ten Hag, so the club’s hierarchy has been searching for a keeper comfortable playing wide.
In a contract extension with United, David De Gea is likely to be replaced by Trapp as Red Devils’ starting keeper, whom Ten Hag may be signing. Manchester United has been searching for a backup keeper for most of the transfer window, allowing Dean Henderson to join Nottingham Forest on loan earlier this summer.

Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp has established himself as the side’s first-choice starter after joining the club on loan from PSG in 2018, then moving on permanently the following year. Kevin Trapp will be a competent keeper who can compete with David de Gea for a place, and he would fit into Erik ten Hag’s system thanks to his on-the-ball qualities.
Eintracht will then need to be active in the transfer market and find a new goalkeeper that brings Kevin Trapp’s qualities and works immediately. Above all, Eintracht has to judge whether they can afford to let go of the goalkeeper, currently the club’s most important face. While De Gea produced a fault-free performance in United’s win against Liverpool on Monday evening, the club will hope they have added a new keeper who can challenge his place within the side or even take over from him as a first-choice keeper.
