Ao Tanaka has been linked with a move away from Leeds United at the end of the season.Manchester United have been mentioned as a potential destination. However, the Japanese defensive midfielder has been urged to continue at Leeds United.The 27-year-old produced a very impressive performance against Manchester United at Old Trafford recently, helping his team pick up all three points.It is no surprise the Red Devils are keeping tabs on him. They need a quality defensive midfielder in the summer, especially with Casemiro leaving the club. They will need to find an alternative to Manuel Ugarte as well.Former Leeds star Dominic Matteo has claimed he is a fan favourite at the club and should look to continue with the club.“Where’s Tanaka going to go? He’ll have options, but you have to be careful what you wish for sometimes. He’s a good player, with time on his side still, and he’s an international, but Leeds have improved him as a player. The coaches have obviously done something right with him. And when he has been at his best and when he has been fit, he’s been picked.”Matteo said via TEAMtalk “I’d like to see him stay; he’s a bit of a fan favourite.”It will be interesting to see if Manchester United come forward with an offer to sign him. The 27-year-old could be a very useful player for them. He’s at the peak of his career, and the opportunity to join. One of the biggest clubs in the country will be exciting for him. This could be his final opportunity to play for an elite club. If Manchester United come forward with an official proposal, it will be difficult for the Japanese international to turn it down.The post “Careful what you wish for”: 27-year-old “fan favourite” warned against Man United switch appeared first on CaughtOffside.
