Manchester United could look to land Paris Saint-Germain squad player Lee Kang-in over the summer transfer window, according to reports - with the Red Devils believed to have 'made a move' to land the creative talent in a bid to put their shambolic campaign behind them and finish in the European spaces of the Premier League next season.
The former Valencia star has 12 goal contributions in just 30 Ligue 1 games for PSG this season, alongside helping them to the Champions League final - though only 19 of those league appearances have been starts, and more game time will be prioritised elsewhere. As a result, United are keen on rebuilding their forward line to bring the South Korean star to the club on a permanent basis in the coming months.
Report: Man Utd 'Have Made Move' to Sign Lee Kang-in
The Red Devils must sign attackers after a lacklustre campaign in front of goal

The report by CaughtOffside states that PSG could undergo a significant attacking midfield departure this summer, with Kang-in being at the centre of 'widespread' transfer speculation after talks to extend his contract broke down with the French champions. Despite being under contract until 2028, his long-term future looks uncertain in the capital, and Luis Enrique's inability to secure his future has opened the door for the Red Devils.

The report states that United have made a move to sign the 24-year-old star, with Ruben Amorim aiming to add even more creativity to his side despite Wolverhampton Wanderers star Matheus Cunha looking close to signing after United agreed sales terms with the Molineux outfit - and Liam Delap's expected Old Trafford switch could make it a trio to be excited over.
Kang-in is a 'ridiculous' talent, who can provide creativity, score goals, and play anywhere across the midfield three - and so the Portuguese tactician has named him one of his star targets.
Other clubs have registered their interest, including Atletico Madrid and Napoli as well as some Premier League clubs - but the left-footed star could opt for United as Amorim aims to turn their poorest campaign in 50 years on its head.
The ex-Valencia metronome is thought to be prioritising career development over a high-profile destination, opting for playing time and a manager who trusts him - and with Amorim having a smaller budget to work with, spending his money on Kang-in would all but allow him that game time.
