Does he stay, does he go?

It is the question of all questions that concerns Eintracht these days – but above all Kevin Trapp himself, who now has the chance to try something new again.

Manchester United instead of Eintracht Frankfurt?

There was no evidence as of Wednesday.

As usual, the 32-year-old goalkeeper was one of the group of Eintracht players who cycled from the professional camp to the training ground in the afternoon.

Oliver Glasner had fun and enjoyed it, because when the Frankfurt coach greeted the spectating reporters, he said with a smile on his face: "Well, Kevin is still there." Right in the middle of Eintracht - as it has been for many years, in which the native of Saarland has earned the reputation of being one of the best keepers, at least in Germany.

His work made an impression in many places.

The fact that Eintracht actually won the Europa League on that magical night in Seville was also and above all thanks to Trapp.

His famous saves caused a lot of enthusiasm - and now also the interest of the long-standing English world club Manchester United, for which coach Erik ten Hag Trapp would like to see in his team.

But does Eintracht want that too?

She has all the trumps in her hand.

Without the approval of those responsible for the club, there will be nothing with a possible move to the island.

Trapp is contractually bound to the club up to and including June 30, 2024, where he has long been a figure of identification and one of the key faces of the team.

In the morning in the weight room, in the afternoon in team training in fourth place in the arena, in the evening then really in the stadium: It was not a Bundesliga game in which Trapp was allowed to show his great skills again.

It was a game of friendship and with many good intentions.

The benefit campaign "Champions for Charity" with many other sports stars from various disciplines was all about a good cause.

The proceeds from the football game, in which Trapp was in goal, benefit the foundations of Formula 1 record world champion Michael Schumacher and basketball player Dirk Nowitzki.

The long basket hunter was one of the figureheads of the Champions game.

Because of him, fan queues several hundred meters long formed parallel to Eintracht training.

Nowitzki is a fan of Eintracht

During the Eintracht practice session, it was necessary to fine-tune the game for the difficult away test in Bremen.

On Sunday evening (5.30 p.m.) the Glasner team will have to assert themselves against newly promoted Werder and finally clinch their first win of the season.

It would be the first complete success across the seasons after eleven unsuccessful attempts.

Just like the Hessian Formula 1 champion Sebastian Vettel, Nowitzki also belongs to the circle of prominent Eintracht sympathizers – at least somehow.

"I used to be a bit of a Frankfurt fan, I was often here in the stadium with Okocha, Yeboah and Andy Möller in all the old days," said the Würzburger in an interview with Sport 1. That's why he was also huge about the Europa League -Victory of the Hessians happy.

“I've been following a lot on social media.

If he had found the time to drop by Eintracht on Wednesday, Nowitzki would have seen a dedicated team in training.

Coach Glasner repeatedly used the opportunity to interrupt the intense games on the small field in order to correct and animate.

Most of his suggestions fell on fertile ground, as the Austrian immediately praised them.

"Yes, exactly like that, bravo."

Will there also be a Bravo this Thursday?

The eagerly awaited group draw in the Champions League will take place in Istanbul from 6 p.m.

For Eintracht, placed in pot 1, anything is possible given the abundance of top-class opponents.

Liverpool, Atlético, Inter, Juve – it could happen.

There will only be one game: Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Manchester United.

The club courting Trapp is not qualified at all.
