Rumors of Kim Min-jae moving to Manchester United were heated up in the transfer market last summer. Everything was agreed upon, Kim Min-jae's identity number was confirmed, and even a report said Manchester United even found a house for Kim Min-jae to live in. However, it ended in a happening. Kim Min-jae is wearing a Bayern Munich uniform.
The fact that Kim Min-jae failed to make a move to Manchester United does not mean Manchester United failed to recruit Kim Min-jae. The real reason was elsewhere.
Bayern Munich played Stuttgart in the 15th round of the German Bundesliga in the 2023-24 season at its home stadium, Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on the 18th. Bayern Munich won 3-0. Harry Kane scored multiple goals and Kim Min-jae scored his Bundesliga debut goal. It was a game dominated by Bayern Munich from start to finish.
There was Manchester United's scouts in this stadium. The reason they came here is, of course, to recruit players. This is to see the skills of the players they want to recruit with their own eyes.
Manchester United want a new striker. They wanted Kane the most, but they also had to hand him over to Bayern Munich. So Manchester United signed Rasmus Huirun, which is not satisfactory. They want a striker like Kane.
The reason why the Manchester United scouts came to the Allianz Arena was to analyze Stuttgart striker Seru Girasi. Girasi was the striker who led the Bundesliga sensation earlier this season. He once led Kane and led the Bundesliga in scoring. Now he is behind. While Girasi remained at 16 goals, Kane scored more than 20.
I came to see Girashi with anticipation, but there was nothing that Girashi showed. He only showed Kim Min-jae to be completely blocked. Dayo Upamecano applied next to Kim Min-jae. The performance that was bound to be disappointed. The expectation and willingness of the Manchester United scouts were bound to decline. In other words, Kim Min-jae ruined Manchester United's transfer plan.
The British Express reported, "Manchester United, which missed Kane, sent a starter to the match against Stuttgart to recruit Girashi. He wanted to see Girashi, Manchester United's goal for January. Manchester United paid attention to the striker. However, it was Kane who scored two goals. Girashi failed to keep up with Kane's scoring ability. Kane is still hampering Manchester United's transfer plans."
"Kim Min-jae kept Girashi quiet. Upamecano helped. Manchester United scouts would not have been impressed by this. It is unclear whether they will continue to receive Manchester United's attention. They will have to make more efforts to find stronger firepower," he stressed. 토토사이트 순위
