The former Spurs defender still has two years left on his contract, with the Spanish champions demanding a fee in excess of £25million.
Currently, United are unwilling to pay that much, but if Solskjaer pushes for Trippier, that outlay could impact negatively on their attempts to address other weaknesses in the squad.
Raphael Varane has been targeted as the man to solve United’s problems at centre-back, but bringing the Frenchman to Old Trafford will cost more than £50m.
A new defensive midfielder is also being eyed, with Declan Rice currently at the top of United’s shopping list, but prising him from West Ham will also be costly.
