Manchester United 'place Napoli defender Kim Min-jae at the top of their summer wish list' with Erik Ten Hag 'keen to strengthen his centre-back options at Old Trafford'

Manchester United have placed Napoli defender Kim Min-jae at the top of their summer wish list, according to reports in Italy.

Kim, 26, only moved to Napoli from Fenerbahce five months ago, but it didn't take him long to hit the ground running, producing a string of impressive displays at the back to help Luciano Spalletti's men build up an eight-point lead at the top of Serie A.

He also played a key role in South Korea's run to the World Cup last-16, where they were eventually beaten by pre-tournament favourites Brazil.
