Manchester United eye move for Bayern Munich defender with uncertain future

Benjamin Pavard is reportedly a target for Manchester United this summer with the club believed to be considering a move for the Frenchman.

Following reports that Benjamin Pavard is ready to leave Bayern Munich, French publication L’Equipe indicate today that the defender has interest spreading across Europe if he becomes available this summer.

L’Equipe (via GFNF) claim Inter Milan, Manchester United and Barcelona are all interested in a move for the 27-year-old.

It is also stated that Pavard is prioritising a move that would see him play regularly as a centre-back, his favoured position, although I’ve mostly seen him operate as a full-back.

Pavard, whose contract expires at the end of the season, seemingly has no intention of renewing with the Bundesliga champions.

Another set of talks is scheduled to take place between Pavard’s representatives and Bayern bosses, so we will likely see an acceleration in transfer reports over the coming days or weeks.

Football clubs and players will be trying to plan their summer spending and we’re hoping that United can get most of their business done early to allow Erik ten Hag prepare the players best for the 2023/24 campaign.

It might be difficult to achieve that at United with the Glazers delaying the takeover process.
