Manchester United have reportedly turned their attentions away from Napoli defender Kim Min-jae with two French defenders considered.
According to a report from L’Equipe, Manchester United are targeting both Monaco’s Axel Disasi and Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo.
Manchester United have been linked with signing a new centre-back to rejuvenate their defensive ranks. Harry Maguire and Eric Bailly are almost certain to depart along with Phil Jones’ already confirmed contract expiry.
Previously, L’Equipe have also reported that Disasi had chosen Old Trafford as his preference for a move, with United close to completing a £45m deal.
Todibo has impressed this season at Nice. He is finally beginning to realise his potential showcased early in his career, prior to a failed move to Barcelona.
The French paper claims both defenders are on Erik ten Hag‘s list. However it is thought United would ‘probably wait the exit of one of their defenders before going any further’.
Kim Min-jae choses Bayern Munich
Until last week, a move for South Korean international Kim Min-jae seemed nailed on. However, it now appears Bayern Munich are the favourites to clinch his signature according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Scudetto winner rose to stardom throughout his first season in Naples after joining to club from Fenerbahçe.
While the race for his signature isn’t over just yet, it does appear likely United have moved on. This given the timing of the reports linking the Red Devils to the French pair.
With the price tag for both French internationals known, a move could materialise quickly should Kim be confirmed to be Allianz Arena bound.
