Speculation suggests that Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag may entertain the possibility of selling Harry Maguire, and Victor Lindelof’s departure is also being considered. Although Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez are currently injured, they are expected to remain with the team beyond the summer. Consequently, the need for additional center-backs at Manchester United is evident.

Considering the time sensitivity of Min-jae’s contract clause, which remains active for a mere two weeks in July, Manchester United must act swiftly and efficiently to secure his services before the opportunity passes.
