Napoli sensation Kim Min-jae is thought to be edging closer to a move to the Red Devils. It is thought that a deal is practically done and that the Mancunian side are on the brink of finalising the deal, according to 'Manchester Evening News'.

Manchester United have not had a terrible season, but equally not one the fans would have been dreaming of. The side are currently fourth in the table with qualification for next year's Champions League close to being confirmed. Despite some shocking losses (that 7-0 thumping at Anfield comes to mind), the Red Devils have also had some unbeatable highs, overcoming Newcastle to claim yet another Carbao Cup.

In order to really put up a fight at the top of the Premier League table next term, Ten Hag will be keen to keep his revolution in full force. In order to do so, the Dutch manager will have a list of players he's hoping to get in. Right at the top of that list is a new centre-back, with Napoli's Kim Min-jae taking pole position to get the job.

The South Korean star has had a stellar season with current side Napoli, lifting the club's first 'Scudetto' in 30 years. The role he played was fundamental to that, playing 43 games to date in all competitions. This type of leadership and confidence is exactly what Ten Hag is looking for, and some say a deal between the two parties is almost done.

According to 'Manchester Evening News', the move is virtually sealed, with the English club "on the brink of finalising a deal" to bring him in. This would be the start of what is surely set to be a busy summer for Carrington.
