Benjamin Pavard has reaffirmed that he is open to leaving Bayern Munich to join a new club - but his comments spell bad news for Manchester United.
The Red Devils were linked with the France defender throughout the summer transfer window but opted to make Lisandro Martinez their marquee signing at centre-half. This season, Erik ten Hag has regularly deployed Diogo Dalot at right-back and he would like to sign a new option in January, so long as he can offload Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Pavard, 26, is an ideal candidate as he plays on the right of defence for France - helping them win the World Cup in 2018 - but is also well-versed in at centre-back. He also opened the door to leaving the Allianz Arena last week, declaring he would like to "take up new challenges", with just over 18 months remaining on his Bayern contract.
