It's a decision the 30-year-old will have to weigh up if Arsenal are to satisfy Atletico's valuation.
Talk of interest from Arsenal is only likely to intensify United's pursuit of the player.
They were previously taking a relaxed approach to the situation but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does want to make Trippier his fourth summer signing.
The idea is that Trippier can provide healthy competition with Aaron Wan-Bissaka at right-back, while providing United with a great attacking threat going forward.

He can also play wing-back and that is also of appeal to Solskjaer, who is open to switching formation.
Arsenal have spent a large percentage of their transfer budget on Ben White so funds are potentially limited.
However, there is talk the Gunners are also pursuing Manchester City's Bernardo Silva after he asked Pep Guardiola to leave the club.
He is likely to cost upwards of £40million meaning it's now down to Edu to determine whether any deal is financially viable.
