Manchester United pursues Kim Min-jae amid Bayern Munich interest
Summary

Manchester United remains interested in signing Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae during the summer transfer window. Currently, United is prioritizing midfield reinforcements but is considering Kim as a potential addition to their defensive lineup. The South Korean has made 19 Bundesliga starts and eight Champions League appearances but faces tough competition for a starting role at Bayern. Despite interest from clubs like Chelsea and Tottenham, Kim is inclined to stay with Bayern, where he has a contract until 2028. Negotiations could open for a transfer if an offer between £26m and £34.5m is made.
