Tah is attracting interest from across Europe, with Real Madrid and Barcelona showing the most interest in securing the centre-back’s services.

He had agreed a deal to join Barcelona but the move is being held up with Hansi Flick’s side currently unable to register new players.

According to Florian Plettenberg, Man United are now hoping to take advantage of the uncertainty and sign Tah.

The defender has been a key component to Leverkusen’s recent success under Xabi Alonso, popping up with three goals in his 46 games across all competitions this season.
