- Manchester United is reportedly eyeing a move for Napoli defender Kim Min-Jae in the upcoming summer transfer window.
According to SportWitness, the South Korean international has been a key player in Napoli’s Serie A title-winning campaign in his first season at the club. United has identified the 26-year-old as a potential replacement for Harry Maguire, who may leave the club this summer.
Manchester United’s target strength
Kim is known for his strength, speed, and aggressive defending, as well as his ability to read opponents and dominate in the air.
He is considered one of the best defenders in the world, and his physical attributes make him an attractive target for United.
As a central defender, Kim has excellent predictive ability in defense and can often start and finish plays when the team advances. He also has a strong long-pass accuracy that enables him to complete quick counterattacks.
With Maguire’s potential departure, United is keen to secure a top-quality replacement, and Kim seems to fit the bill.
Make excellent additions
The South Korean’s defensive abilities and physical attributes could make him an excellent addition to the United backline.
While no official bid has been made yet, it will be interesting to see if United can secure the services of the highly-rated defender in the upcoming transfer window.
