Lee Kang-in (24, Paris Saint-Germain) is once again the subject of speculation regarding a transfer to Manchester United. Reports have emerged that his agent visited England and contacted English Premier League (EPL) clubs, including Manchester United.

Matteo Moreto, a reporter for the Spanish media outlet "Relevo," noted on the 16th (Korea time) that "Lee Kang-in's agent, Javier Garido, recently visited the UK to discuss matters with Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Everton."

Garido is responsible for managing contracts for various players, including Lee Kang-in, Abde Ezzalzouli (Real Betis), and Harvey Guera (Valencia).

Lee Kang-in had also been linked with several EPL clubs during the last winter transfer window. At that time, Arsenal, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Nottingham Forest showed interest.

At that time, "The Athletic" reported that "Arsenal considers Lee Kang-in as a candidate for acquisition, and Manchester United and Newcastle are also keeping an eye on him." The Italian media outlet "Tutto Mercato" also reported that "Newcastle and Manchester United have observed Lee Kang-in multiple times and there is a possibility they might attempt to acquire him."

However, Lee Kang-in remained with PSG. French media outlet "L'Équipe" explained that "PSG has received numerous inquiries about Lee Kang-in, but they value him highly within the team." Manager Luis Enrique personally stated, "Lee Kang-in is a versatile player. He can play in various positions and has an excellent attitude," dismissing the rumors of his release.

Recently, however, Lee Kang-in's position has become unstable. After Khvicha Kvaratskhelia joined the team, he was pushed to the bench, and Ousmane Dembélé and Marco Verratti have secured starting spots. He did not play in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 against Liverpool and was substituted in extra time of the second leg. As a result, rumors of another release have emerged. French outlet "Foot 01" hinted that "PSG is planning to release Lee Kang-in this summer."

In this situation, news of his agent's visit to Manchester United has drawn renewed attention to his transfer possibilities. The British outlet "Give Me Sport" evaluated that "Manchester United is in need of offensive reinforcement. Lee Kang-in could be an important signing under the new managerial system."

"Football Fancast" analyzed that "Lee Kang-in is regarded as a player similar to Vinícius Júnior. He could have sufficient competitiveness at Manchester United."

As the summer transfer window approaches, interest in Lee Kang-in's future is expected to intensify.
