Manchester United are interested in PSG winger Lee Kang-in, PSG seeking €40m-€50m
The first match of this season of the Premier League was disappointing for Manchester United. We started well against Arsenal on Sunday, but the initial energy did not last long. Altay Bayindir’s mistake on a corner upset United’s entire balance, and Riccardo Calafiori’s header gave Arsenal the lead.
After this, United created chances, but the equaliser did not come. Benjamin Sesko came off the bench and tried to change the game, but the real threat came from Bryan Mbeumo, who surprised everyone with a brilliant bicycle kick and then kept David Raya busy with a header. In the end, United returned empty-handed. Now the next match is against Fulham, and it has become necessary to collect three points there.
Eye on Lee Kang-in
A new report on a player that we have talked about earlier has come out in this difficult period. According to journalist Han June via X, Manchester United are keeping a close eye on Paris Saint-Germain winger Lee Kang-in. The news comes in the final days of the transfer window as United explore their options. Adding another name to the attacking third could help Amorim, but PSG are very firm on their demands. According to the report, the Paris club consider Lee a key part of the rotation and only an extraordinary bid to let him go could change their mind. He is being valued between €40 to €50 million.

Manchester United eye PSG’s Lee Kang-in as Amorim seeks attacking boost amid tough start
This name is special for United fans, because Lee’s skills and his agility on the pitch could give the team a new edge in the attack. The 24-year-old can play on both wings, is quick in passing and has the art of creating space. His creativity could fit into Amorim’s strategy and tactics.
On the other hand, the report reveals that Arsenal did contact the South Korean, but they dropped this option after signing Eberechi Eze. For United, this could be a sign that the opportunity is at hand, but there is also a risk that a deal involving such a high amount may not succeed.
Should United go after Lee?
The question now is whether United should spend a lot of money on Lee Kang-in. On one hand, there is PSG’s strictness and high player valuation; on the other hand, United have several weak positions that need immediate improvement. It would be a risk if the club spent all the budget on a rotational player, especially when the team need more strength in defence and midfield.
The question is whether the extravagant bid will pay off or the team should look at more realistic options. Our opinion is that United should avoid betting big on Lee at this point and instead focus on other positions. Only a balanced squad leads to victory in a long season. We already have Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo in those positions. Then, we currently might not have the money for such a high-value signing, given that we are yet to sell players, and also signing a rotational player for such a hefty price is not worth it! So, if PSG do stick to such a transfer price, we should just drop our interest in the South Korean for the time being. Meanwhile, in other news, Al-Ittihad remain keen on Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes.
