Manchester United have opened talks with Bayer Leverkusen over a deal for centre-back Jonathan Tah, according to Sky Sports Deutschland's Florian Plettenberg.
The move comes after Leverkusen's negotiations with Bayern Munich for the Germany international reportedly stalled, opening the door for Erik ten Hag's side to swoop in.
Tah played a vital role for Die Werkself last season, featuring 48 times across all competitions, notching six goals in the process, as he helped the German side go unbeaten in the Bundesliga and the DfB-Pokal. This has led to several clubs across Europe showcasing an interest in the 28-year-old.
Manchester United are eager to add to their defensive options this summer having seen Raphaël Varane leave the club, leaving the fallen Premier League giants short on defensive options. Alongside Tah, United have shown an interest in Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt and Lille starlet Leny Yoro.
