Manchester United are set to compete with Bayern Munich for Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah. The Red Devils recently secured their first summer signing, Joshua Zirkzee, for £36.5 million from Bologna. Manager Erik ten Hag is keen to bolster his defense further and is known to desire Bayern’s Matthijs de Ligt.
However, with no agreement in sight, United has inquired about 28-year-old Tah, who impressed at Euro 2024. Sky Reporter Florian Plettenberg confirmed United’s interest, noting the lack of agreements between Bayern, Leverkusen, and United. Meanwhile, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that young defender Willy Kambwala will leave United for Villarreal for €10 million, with a sell-on and buy-back clause.
Fans are delighted with Zirkzee’s weekly salary of £56,000, considering it modest compared to previous spending. Zirkzee, who scored 12 goals in 37 Serie A appearances last season, impressed Ten Hag and earned a spot in the Netherlands’ Euro 2024 squad, making his debut in the quarter-final win over Turkey.
