MANCHESTER UNITED target Kim Min-jae could be available for £40m next summer – but for just TWO WEEKS.
Erik ten Hag has done a great job since replacing Ralf Rangnick in the Old Trafford dugout.
United’s win over Fulham before the break saw them climb to fifth and move three points behind fourth place Tottenham with a game in hand.
But while the Red Devils are improving at the top end of the pitch, their defensive frailties are clear to see.
Only Spurs (21) have conceded more Prem goals than them (20) in the top eight this season.
Therefore, Ten Hag is hoping to bolster his numbers at the back, with Min-jae being targeted.

The 26-year-old only arrived at Napoli in the summer, but his outstanding form for the Serie A leaders has caught United’s eye.
The South Korea international penned a three-year contract in Naples but could make a swift exit.
That’s because Fabrizio Romano claims that he has a release clause of £40m.
However, that clause will only be active for just a fortnight, which means United will have to act quickly.

They’ll also have a decision to make over the future of Victor Lindelof with his deal expiring in 2024, so a central defender could soon be needed.
