According to the Sun, Manchester United is considered to be in a favourable position to secure the signing of Axel Disasi from Monaco this summer.
The 25-year-old French international is seen as the primary alternative to Napoli’s Kim Min-jae, who appears to be on his way to Bayern Munich.
Bayern is reportedly close to reaching an agreement on personal terms with Min-jae and is expected to activate his release clause in the coming month. This development could potentially shift United’s attention towards pursuing Disasi instead.
Reports suggest that United has already engaged in discussions with Disasi’s representatives, indicating their interest in the player.
If the German club indeed emerges as the preferred destination for Min-jae, United may proceed with an approach to Monaco this week for Disasi’s potential transfer.

The Monaco centre-back is said to be eagerly interested in a potential move to Man United during the upcoming transfer window.
Disasi shares similarities with Min-jae in terms of being a powerful and commanding centre-back with a strong presence in aerial duels.
His potential addition to the squad would provide healthy competition in the defensive ranks and contribute to the overall quality of the team.
The French star may not possess the same ball-playing skills as Min-jae, but he is known for efficiently performing his defensive duties at the heart of the backline.
United has been linked with Disasi as a potential signing, and it has been suggested that he could be secured for a fee of £43 million.

Unlike Min-jae, the 25-year-old does not have a release clause deadline in his contract, giving United the flexibility to wait and potentially pursue him once they have successfully acquired their primary transfer targets.
The club’s main focus this summer is to strengthen their squad in the centre-forward and midfield positions. Once they have bolstered those areas, they can shift their attention to pursuing Disasi.
