Erik ten Hag has been left exasperated as Manchester United look set to miss out on transfer target Kim Min-jae with the Napoli defender poised to join Bayern Munich.
Kim, 26, has been linked with a summer switch to Old Trafford for months after starring in Napoli’s run to the title. The South Korean only joined the Serie A club last season from Fenerbahce but such were the level of his performances, he has admirers across Europe’s top clubs.
United’s hopes of signing Kim are now diminishing amid the uncertainty over United’s takeover situation. The club’s Glazer owners initiated the sales process seven months ago and despite Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim both tabling multiple bids, United’s future remains unclear.
