Goodbye Maguire, the world-class defender who could play for Manchester United next season

Manchester United are coming off the back of a huge season that they are looking to cap off with an FA Cup Final on June 3 against Manchester City. In that sense, the team does not want to lose the momentum and want to be protagonists in the next season.

In view of this, a number of departures and important signings are expected, while maintaining the base of key players such as Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro. However, other elements do not have their continuity assured, such is the case of Harry Maguire, who could end his time at the Old Trafford team, after his arrival in 2019.

According to Sport, Manchester United values the departure of one of their captains for next season and would not mind recovering the investment of almost 90 million euros that his arrival cost. For Erik Ten Hag it is vital to land an elite center-back to compete at the highest level in Europe.

Manchester United currently appear to be the favorites to seal the transfer of Napoli center-back Kim Min-jae this summer, according to Ben Jacobs in his column for CaughtOffside. The South Korean is one of the players with the best stats in the 2022/23 season and a key part of the Italian champions' recent success. Hence the interest of United's board in securing his signature.

Will Kim Min-Jae play for Manchester United?

Napoli has always been known for being a team that is very difficult to negotiate with for any of its players. However, according to the report of journalist Bruno Andrade, the Old Trafford team is the great favorite to get his signature, which could exceed 60 million euros, according to Transfermarkt.
