Manchester United have been dealt a blow in their quest to sign Napoli star Kim Min-jae - according to reports.
Kim, 26, has earned rave reviews for his performances this season and is ready to make his mark on the World Cup with South Korea as elite players gather in Qatar for the global showcase. Napoli are unbeaten in Serie A so far this season and topped the Italian standings heading into this unique winter break.
Manchester Evening News understands Napoli frontman Victor Osimhen is wanted by United and the Old Trafford giants continue to be linked with his teammate. Kim plays at centre-back and has made 20 appearances across the competitions since his €18million summer switch to the club from Turkish side Fenerbahce.
