Manchester United are reportedly worried Harry Maguire's reluctance to leave Old Trafford will scupper plans to sign Kim Min-jae.
According to 90min, Maguire is not fully on board with exiting United this summer despite seeing his playing time drastically decrease last season. The former Leicester City man became fourth choice centre-back behind Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof as the Reds' defensive record improved.
It is widely understood Ten Hag is open to selling the England man to fund a move for Napoli's Kim. The South Korean international was a main stay in the Serie A champions' team this season making 45 appearances and reports in Italy state the defender is destined for Manchester.
However, 90min believe Maguire wants to battle for a spot in the United XI next season and the Reds are concerned they will have to move away from a deal for Kim if the current club captain does dig his heels in. Elsewhere, the Mirror reports Atalanta's Rasmus Hojlund and AS Monaco's Axel Disasi have made it clear they want to move to Old Trafford.

MEN Sport understands Erik ten Hag has been conducting several video calls with Hojlund in an attempt to lure him to the club. Meanwhile, Disasi has reportedly expressed his interest to join the Reds as they look to strengthen their defensive options.
The France international is thought to be on a shortlist of defensive targets which United are looking at this summer, along with Kim. It is expected a £43million release clause in Kim's contract will become active next month.
