Manchester United have made an inquiry to sign the £33m “extraordinary” ace as a possible replacement for Marcus Rashford, according to a recent report.
Man Utd transfer news
It’s been a quiet transfer window so far for many Premier League clubs, and it could stay that way for the Red Devils unless they manage to get a few players out of the club before the deadline. The PSR means United have to get the players going before they can think about bringing anyone in, and so far they haven’t brought anyone out of Old Trafford.

It was already reported this month that United were willing to let go Victor Lindelof, Christian Eriksen, Casemiro and Antony leave this month if they get an offer. Rashford is also another player who could leave Old Trafford, after falling out of favour Reuben Amorim in recent weeks.
AC Milan have offered Rashford on loan with an option to buyafter it was revealed his agents had flown to Milan to discuss a potential transfer to the club. It has been reported that Milan’s loan offer could be tempting for INEOS despite United wanting £50m for Rashford. Like Milan, Borussia Dortmund are also interested in signing the Englishman this month, but as of now, their interest is only a simple loan.
Man Utd have made inquiries for the £33m signing of the “extraordinary” ace
If INEOS moves Rashford this month, according to a report from Spain, United have made an inquiry for the signature of Kang-in Lee from Paris Saint-Germain in an attempt to replace the Englishman.
The 23-year-old, who is described as “outstanding” by Korean journalist Joel Kim, joined PSG in July 2023 from Real Mallorca. He impressed in his first season in France, scoring three goals and registering four assists in 23 Ligue 1 games, as well as being on the scoresheet in nine Champions League games.
Kang-in’s ability to play anywhere across the front line, as well as his ability to slot into midfield, has now put him on United’s radar. This report states that the Red Devils are interested in signing the striker but face competition from Newcastle United. INEOS explored the possibility of a deal over the line as they inquired about his availability, but so did the Magpies.

The South Korea international featured a lot under Luis Enrique but was not always a guaranteed starter and as a result Kang-in is open to the idea of leaving PSG. Both Premier League clubs are interested in signing the player, but it is not clear if they are willing to pay 40 million euros (£33 million) fee that the French side placed on the player’s head. United’s interest in Kang has emerged amid uncertainty over Rashford’s future, as well as that of Alejandro Garnach.
