Man Utd have reportedly added Ao Tanaka to their shortlist of transfer targets. The Leeds midfielder is rumoured to be attracting attention ahead of the next transfer window, with insiders claiming preliminary talks could soon take place. Freiburg and Union Berlin remain in the background, but for now, Man Utd are leading the way in ongoing talks. So far this season, Man Utd are steady at both ends (1.78 goals scored per game, 1.41 goals conceded per game). The role for Ao Tanaka would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Leeds have also been linked with Crysencio Summerville while Man Utd are reportedly monitoring David Alaba, Igor Thiago Nascimento Rodrigues and Santiago Thomas Castro.
