스포츠토토 Napoli’s Kim Min-jae’s move to Manchester United appears to be finalized.
Local media have reported that the deal is “virtually complete,” with the player and United having reached a personal agreement. All that remains is to finalize the details, and it is reported that the finalization is close. It was even reported that Man United had found a house for Kim Min-jae to live in.
It was also reported that Kim would not be coming to the club as a replacement for Harry Maguire, but as a potential replacement for Rafael Varane, and that he would be competing for a starting spot with Varane and Lysandro Martinez, who were both stalwarts at Napoli.
If it does come to pass, it will be United boss Eric ten Hague who will suffer the most. Mourinho is in a ‘happy dilemma’. The arrival of Kim Min-jae will most likely force a change in the center back line.
This could give Mourinho one of his biggest headaches since taking over as United manager, as he will have to decide who to play in the center of a backline that includes Kim, Varane, and Martinez.
The British media echoed Van Gaal’s happy thoughts. The Manchester Evening News reported, “Kim Min-jae’s move to United is on the verge of being finalized. It’s virtually a done deal,” reported the Manchester Evening News.
“United have Varane and Martinez. This has been Van Gaal’s preferred center back line until now, but the signing of Kim Min Jae presents a major headache for Van Gaal’s center back options.” This means that he will have a big problem deciding which of the three to use as a starter.
