Manchester United are looking to add to their defensive options and have begun talks with Bayern Munich for the transfer of Benjamin Pavard. The French international is interested in a move away from Germany to a different league, with one year left on his contract.
Fabrizio Romano, a transfer expert, reported that the former Stuttgart man has no intention of renewing his contract with the Bundesliga champions and is keen to make the move. Whilst there has been no official bid from Manchester United yet, the Red Devils are likely to make an offer of around £30m for Pavard, which could help Bayern to recoup some of the money they paid for Harry Kane.
Pavard has been with Bayern Munich since 2019 and has made 162 appearances in all competitions, scoring 12 goals. He is capable of playing both right-back and centre-back, which makes him an attractive option for Manchester United.
The Red Devils kick off their Premier League campaign on Monday night at home to Wolves, with manager Erik ten Hag likely to hand Premier League debuts to Mason Mount and Andre Onana. However, Rasmus Hojlund will have to wait a little longer to pull on the Manchester United shirt for the first time due to injury.
It remains to be seen if Benjamin Pavard will make a switch to Old Trafford in the coming weeks, but Manchester United are certainly eager to land the World Cup winner and strengthen their defensive options.
