Napoli defender Kim Min-jae 'is keen on moving to Man United' but 'won't be able to join the Red Devils straight away'... with the South Korean set to complete compulsory military training during the summer

Napoli defender Kim Min-jae is reportedly keen on a move to Manchester United but won't be able to link up with the Premier League outfit straight away.

The South Korean, who recently won the Best Defender in Serie A award, has been a planned summer transfer target for the Red Devils for months now.

The 26-year-old played a crucial role in Napoli's Scudetto triumph, making 35 appearances in the season, and has become one of Europe's hottest prospects.

Reports emerged on Monday that suggested United were willing to trigger the £51million buyout clause in the defender's contract.
