Manchester United are ready to sign Kim Min-jae as soon as a deal can be done with Napoli.

That is according to Corriere dello Sport in Italy, who have outlined the South Korean's future.

Min-jae, a tall and highly rated center back, has a 50 million release clause in his contract.

United boss Erik ten Hag is likely to sell Harry Maguire, while Victor Lindelof may also leave.

With only Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez, who are bought out injured at present, expected to stay beyond the summer, United need centre-backs.

Given Min-jae's contract clause is only active for two weeks in July, United will have to move quickly.
