Manchester United have been incredibly efficient in their chase of Napoli centre-back Kim Min-Jae. According to Italian outlet Il Mattino, the Red Devils are “closing in” on signing Kim Min-Jae, meaning the deal could be reaching its final stages soon.

With this in mind, Napoli has already been shortlisting his potential replacement. This bodes well for Erik ten Hag, since he needs a solid defence to make the club genuine title contenders next season.

Although, the Red Devils must be quick since there’ll be many sides who would like to snatch Maddison.
