According to The Daily Mirror, Manchester United are interested in signing Napoli defender Kim Min-jae, who was available for just £3 million 18 months ago.

The club had the chance to sign the centre-back for only £3 million from Beijing Sinobo Guoan in the summer of 2021 but they were beaten to his signature by Fenerbahce.
United did not follow up their interest last summer when Napoli signed him for £16 million but they could get a third chance next year, as per the report.
Min-jae presently has a £38 million release clause in his contract which United plan to trigger.
He is said to be interested in moving to the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Napoli are looking to hand a new contract to the defender in order to erase his clause.
Hence, one of them could leave Old Trafford if United succeed in signing Min-jae in either January or at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Napoli are expected to discuss a new contract with Min-jae but United will be pinning their hopes on the defender rejecting fresh terms.
If he were to sign a new contract, their chances of signing him could be difficult unless a substantial bid is made.
