🚨HERE WE GO!✅ Benjamin Pavard finally signs for Manchester United – OFFICIAL

As per Sky Deutschland journalist Florian Plettenberg, Manchester United have emerged as the frontrunners to snap up Bayern Munich defender Benjamin Pavard.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner has been a standout performer for the Bundesliga giants, contributing 12 goals and as many assists in 162 games across competitions since arriving in 2019. The 27-year-old right-back has won 11 trophies in Bavaria, including four straight Bundesliga titles.

However, with his contract expiring next year, Pavard is seeking a new challenge elsewhere, even as his boss Thomas Tuchel is reluctant to let the Frenchman leave. United have emerged as the favourites for the player, who is valued at €30 million.

Plettenberg tweeted:

“Man United, at this stage the favorite in the poker for Benjamin #Pavard! Pavard can really imagine to join #MUFC as Ten Hag wants him. Concrete talks are ongoing and positive. Price valuation: Around €30m. Tuchel wants to keep him. Pavard wants to leave Bayern. Would be a massive loss for the club.”

With Harry Maguire reportedly on his way out of Old Trafford after falling down the pecking order and getting stripped of the club captaincy, Erik ten Hag is looking to bolster his defence. Pavard, a right-back by trade, can also play as a centre-back, which should enthuse the Manchester United boss.

The 27-year-old has also made 49 appearances for France, scoring three goals and providing three assists. He has won the 2018 FIFA World Cup and the 2021 UEFA Nations League with Les Bleus.
