Despite competition, Erik ten Hag still wants Manchester United to pursue Kim Min-Jae, a center back for Napoli.

The defender who is garnering interest from all over the world has both Liverpool and Tottenham on their radar.

It might be a little more difficult for the team to bring in another defender because of the relatively recent additions of Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez last summer and summer prior, respectively.

Former regular starters Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire are still present on the team but frequently sit on the bench.

Before any new recruits can be taken into consideration, Axel Tuanzebe, who is on loan at Stoke City, and Phil Jones must leave the team.

Despite Spurs and Liverpool being the favorites, Ten Hag is interested in the center-back deal, according to TeamTalk.

A transfer to Man United may not take place, according to Ben Jacobs, who first announced Man United’s interest in Kim Min-jae a few months ago.

Kim Min-jae will undoubtedly be scouted by clubs seeking for center backs, he told the publication.

You only need to look at his form, intelligence, and awareness to see why [Napoli manager] Luciano Spalletti has already referred to him as “one of the top center-backs in the world,” and there are Premier League clubs searching for him for sure.

“With that type of talent, Manchester United are in a difficult situation since Martinez and Varane are there, and he views himself as the starting center-back. Other teams, though, are seeking to insert someone right into their starting lineup.

Tottenham is another team that has watched the player and, like Liverpool, they are interested in signing a starting center-back.

And I believe that would give those two clubs a slight advantage over Manchester United because it would be very difficult to convince a player in Kim Min-form jae’s and with his potential to choose Old Trafford over those two other clubs if Erik ten Hag is going to play a back four and Varane and Martinez are healthy.

Ten Hag will likely need to make a lot of adjustments to a defense that has already undergone significant upheaval over the past several years.

Martinez and Varane have been a successful team since the beginning of the year, and they have already won the Carabao Cup this year.

It seems doubtful that the manager will alter his plans for the upcoming season unless poor performance continues.

As they will undoubtedly want to start every game, this could complicate any negotiations for a new center-back.

Jacob went on to discuss Kim Min-age jae’s and the amount of playing time he would prefer as the interview progressed.

Although he is 26 years old, he will expect frequent and immediate game time. In all of this, it’s also important to note that he only joined Napoli in July.

He has thus far appeared in less than 35 games for the club as of the recording, as a result.

It has been rumored for a few months that Napoli wants to start contract negotiations with the defender to work out new terms.

If the Red Devils are to successfully capture a target they have been pursuing for the most of the season, they must move quickly.
