Man Utd preparing £53m bid to sign Kim Min-Jae

Manchester United are looking to strengthen their defence for next season due to the problems they have been experiencing in recent matches.

Ten Hag has been forced to juggle in recent weeks after losing his first-choice centre-back pairing of Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane in the same match last month against Sevilla.

Luke Shaw has been used as a makeshift centre-back alongside Victor Lindelof, with club captain Harry Maguire reduced to a bit-part role.

As a result, the Red Devils are keeping an eye on Kim Min-jae's situation. The Napoli defender has a buyout clause of 40 million euros but, according to the 'Daily Mail', United are willing to pay it. In fact, they are preparing a bid of 53 million pounds.

The South Korea international has scored two goals and provided two assists in Serie A this season.
