Manchester United transfer news – Erik ten Hag “ready to sign” Kim Min-Jae

Manchester United are eager to make some defensive reinforcements, with Harry Maguire set to leave and Erik ten Hag still unsure of his best centre back pairing. One player who they are increasingly linked with is Kim Min-Jae from Napoli.

Everybody knows Napoli is having a tremendous season so far, with Min-Jae one of the players they have to thank. The centre back has been solid and deserves a huge increase in pay, something which Napoli cannot yet offer. Therefore, he may be due a move away, with his £43m-£60m release clause looking tempting to other European clubs.

According to Corriere dello Sport (via The Faithful), United feel they are “ready to sign” Min-Jae in the summer.

Manchester United transfer news – Links with Sofyan Amrabat are untrue

Manchester United have been linked with Sofyan Amrabat in recent days. However, the most reliable transfer source Fabrizio Romano has come out to put those rumours to bed.

According to Caught Offside, the transfer guru has claimed there has been no contact between Amrabat and Manchester United. While this doesn’t mean they aren’t interested, it does mean that previous reports that the club was in advanced interest are untrue.
