Fuming Man Utd fans say ‘I hate this club’ as Bayern Munich set to HIJACK first major transfer signing
MANCHESTER UNITED fans have reacted furiously after a fresh report claimed that Bayern Munich have hijacked their transfer pursuit of Napoli’s Kim Min-jae.
United have been strongly linked with the 26-year-old South Korean star this summer as Erik ten Hag looks to bolster his defence.
We reported earlier this week that reports in Italy had claimed the Red Devils had won the race for his signature.
They were believed to be ready to meet his £40m release clause and it was also said that Kim had agreed to sign for United and will join the club on July 1.
The report adds that he has "accepted" the club's contract offer of £9million-per-year, which equals around £175,000-per-week.
However, a fresh update has now emerged from Sky Sport journalist , and it is bad news for supporters of United.
