Manchester United handed Johnathan Tah transfer 'boost' as Xabi Alonso plan emerges
Red Devils face a tough summer window, but one player linked to a move to Old Trafford is Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah
Xabi Alonso is said to be keen on signing the 27 year old, who has made over 200 appearances for the Bundesliga club and has been capped 15 times by Germany.
Tah would provide some much-needed experience and quality to United's backline, which has been a major weakness for the club in recent seasons.
However, United will face competition for Tah's signature, with Arsenal and Tottenham also said to be interested in the defender.
It remains to be seen whether United will be able to land Tah, but the emergence of Alonso's plan is a boost for the Red Devils.
Alonso is a highly-respected coach who has a proven track record of success. He won the Bundesliga title with Bayern Munich in 2017 and the Copa del Rey with Real Madrid in 2014.
If Alonso can bring Tah to Old Trafford, it would be a major coup for United and a sign that the club is finally starting to move in the right direction.
