If there is an essential recruit for Manchester United, which is going well, it is Kim Min-jae (27, SSC Napoli). The former Napoli general manager strongly recommended it.
The British media mirror said on the 4th (Korean time), “Prior to a potential generational change, former Napoli general manager Carlo Giacomucci recommended that Kim Min-jae would be a great signing for Manchester United.”
Giacomucci, who played as a striker in the past, served as general manager at Napoli and Atalanta after retiring. Afterwards, he also worked as an Everton scout. Recently, he appeared on the Italian radio media ‘Radio Punto Nuevo’ and said, “Kim Min-jae and Manchester United will be a very suitable relationship. If you take it, it’s just right,” he said.
His remarks are in line with the recent situation at Manchester United. Manchester United has risen to third place in the league with a rapid rise after the appointment of manager Eric Tenhach. This is thanks to Lisandro Martinez and Rafael Varane keeping the rear strong. However, it is also evaluated that additional recruitment is necessary to aim for a higher place. Harry Maguire, another centre-back resource, has lost the trust of coach Tenhach, and Victor Lindelof’s future at Manchester United is uncertain as he has only one year left on his contract.
Because of that, Kim Min-jae, who has risen as one of the best center backs in Europe, has been steadily connected to Manchester United since last winter’s transfer market. Mirror said that Man Utd and Tottenham are watching Kim Min-jae, saying, “He appeared on a Korean broadcast and said, ‘I know a lot of transfer rumors surrounding him, but I’ve only been to Naples for six months.'” The facts were presented in detail.
The 0-7 loss against Liverpool in the 26th round of the English Premier League (EPL) held on the 6th is expected to further strengthen the rumor of Kim Min-jae’s transfer. Manchester United conceded 6 runs in the second half, and on October 12, 1895, after a 1-7 defeat to Liverpool, they rewrote the record for the most goals and the most points difference between the two teams in 128 years.
