In the end, Manchester United made a huge mistake because they came incredibly close to signing Kim Min-Jae, the Serie A Defender of the Season.

At the conclusion of the league season, after attending the final Scudetto party, Kim reached a deal with Man Utd, according to today’s edition of Corriere dello Sport (news image provided below).

Additionally, his agents officially informed Napoli, the Italian champions, of the move to Old Trafford.

The deal was later delayed because of Man United’s “corporate problems,” and other parties—including Newcastle, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich—jumped in.

The 26-year-old defender is now almost signed by the German champions, but they must first raise the 50 million euros needed to complete the transaction.

Kim will move with the Bavarians once his military service in South Korea is finished, much to the dismay of the Red Devils’ supporters.

The World Cup 2022 player was among the best centre backs in the world last season, and Erik ten Hag would have been lucky to have signed him.

A brilliant defender who helped Napoli win the Serie A is now leaving Manchester United as a result of the club’s internal problems.

For such a great player, 50 million euros is a fantastic deal, but Bayern Munich will be the one to take advantage of the clause when it becomes active in the first fifteen days of July.

Who should Erik ten Hag sign to bolster the Old Trafford defence, in your opinion?
