TOP STORY: Man Utd Eye Move for Bayer's Tah

Manchester United have initiated talks with Bayer Leverkusen for the transfer of center-back Jonathan Tah, according to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Deutschland. This move comes after Leverkusen's negotiations with Bayern Munich for the Germany international reportedly stalled, giving Erik ten Hag's side an opportunity to step in.

Tah was a key player for Die Werkself last season, making 48 appearances across all competitions and scoring six goals. His performances helped the German side remain unbeaten in both the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal. This impressive form has caught the attention of several European clubs.

Manchester United are keen to bolster their defensive options after the departure of Raphaël Varane, which has left the club short at the back. In addition to Tah, United have also shown interest in Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt and Lille’s young talent Leny Yoro. The potential signing of Jonathan Tah could provide the defensive solidity and experience needed to strengthen United's backline.
