Manchester United’s ‘first signing of the summer’ is set to join Bayern Munich instead, in shock swoop: report

Manchester United look like being beaten to their first signing of the summer, by Bayern Munich.

The Red Devils wanted to be quick out of the traps this summer, having had to wait for weeks to make their first buy of the 2022 summer window. Erik ten Hag has a number of areas to fill in his side, with several outgoings likely, too.

Corriere dello Sport in Italy claimed that Manchester United’s first signing of the window, Kim Min-jae from Napoli, had already been agreed as long as two weeks ago, providing cover in defence and support to the likes of Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane. 

But now, Fabrizio Romano has issued an update on the South Korean’s status, with Bayern set to swoop.
