Bayern Munich centre-back Kim Min-jae is on Manchester United’s radar, reports Bild football chief Christian Falk.

However, the German journalist adds that Juventus are currently leading the race for the South Korean international.

La Gazzetta dello Sport has previously claimed that the 29-year-old has already given the green light for a move to the Serie A side, where he could reunite with former Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti.

Should that move fail to materialise, Manchester United could potentially open talks over a deal for the centre-back.

A departure from the German champions is far from guaranteed, though, as Kim is content with his current role as a squad player.
