Manchester United are monitoring Ao Tanaka following his impressive performance for Leeds United at Old Trafford on Monday. Tanaka is a 27-year-old Japanese midfielder with 37 caps and 8 goals for Japan. It is reported that he is open to leaving Daniel Farke's side this summer, and a potential asking price of around €17m has been suggested. Everton and Newcastle are also interested in signing Tanaka. However, Leeds have not ruled out offering him a new contract, as his current deal runs until June 2028. Tanaka joined Leeds from Fortuna Düsseldorf in August 2024 for a fee of €4 million. His current market value is €10.00m, according to Transfermarkt. In the Premier League this season, he has made 2 appearances and provided 1 assist. In April 2026, the asking price from Leeds was reportedly between €10 million and €12 million.
