Trusted reporter Ben Jacobs has tipped Manchester United to be in the mix to sign a top Napoli centre-back this summer, although Liverpool and Tottenham remain the favourites for his signature for one very good reason. At that time, Spurs were strongly tipped to land the international teammate of Son Heung-min but a deal never materialised and Napoli did a deal instead. has since emerged as one of the best defenders in Italian football. To that end, that has led to speculation once again that he could be on the move come the end of the season.
However, Ben Jacobs has revealed why a move to Old Trafford may not happen this summer. He told TEAMtalk: “Clubs looking at centre backs will inevitably be scouting Kim Min-jae.
The other thing to point out in all of this is just that he only joined Napoli in July.
