Man United have been strongly linked with two defenders - Napoli’s Kim Min-jae and Monaco’s Axel Disasi. Here's how both compare statistically based on last season's performances.
Min-jae completed 73 passes per appearance with an accuracy of more than 91 per cent. Disasi, on the other hand, managed 42 passes per outing with an accuracy of 84 per cent.
Min-jae averaged more tackles (1.6) and clearances (3.5) than Disasi (0.8 & 2.9) while also winning more duels (4.5) than the former Reims man (4.2).
Disasi made more interceptions per game (1.5) than the South Korean star (1.2), but was guilty of losing possession on 9.7 occasions – far more than Min-jae’s average (8.1).
Taking clean sheets into regard, Min-jae also wins the race with 14 compared to Disasi’s nine. The former is clearly the superior centre-back. United must sign him at all costs.
Min-jae is far better with his defensive contributions than Disasi. He has also impressed with his forward pass accuracy and would perfectly suit manager Erik ten Hag.
