According to Corriere dello Sport, Napoli defender Kim Min-jae has something ‘more than a promise’ with Manchester United.
Manchester United Transfer News:
The 26-year-old joined Napoli from Fenerbahce last summer and had a fantastic season at the heart of their defense.
The South Korean played an important role in Napoli’s first league title in three decades, but he is expected to leave the club at the beginning of next month.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Min-jae has something ‘more than a promise’ with United, although Bayern Munich also heavily linked.
Santi Aouna reported last night that Bayern Munich and Min-jae have virtually struck a verbal agreement, with his agency receiving a large commission.
Manchester United are still in the race to sign Min-jae Lee, but Bayern Munich has joined the competition.
Corriere dello Sport claims that Manchester United are in command. The club, in our opinion, still has time to persuade the center-back to join them.

He averaged 1.6 tackles, 4.6 duels, and 3.5 clearances per game. Min-jae would actively compete for a starting the port with Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez.
