In this summer’s transfer window, Manchester United has already added a few well-known players. As September 1st draws nearer, Fabrizio Romano updated GIVEMESPORT on the status of their pursuit of France and Bayern Munich defender Benjamin Pavard.

Is the Frenchman going to show up in Manchester?

Even though Manchester United didn’t play to their highest potential on Monday Night Football, they were still able to complete the task and begin the new campaign with three points. Raphael Varane’s goal, the game’s lone score, ensured that a Wolverhampton Wanderers team in limbo exited Old Trafford empty-handed.

Regarding Varane, it was his post to social media following the game, to which Benjamin Pavard replied, that really fueled this fire.

Pavard might become the fourth significant acquisition made by Erik ten Hag after his first three. Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount both made startling transfers from their former teams in Serie A, Inter, and, of course, Inter, the Champions League champions. Andre Onana was signed from Inter.

Pavard has savoured Munich’s finer pleasures, taking home four league championships, the 2019–20 Champions League, as well as a slew of domestic cups. Along with that, he helped France reach the last two World Cup finals, when they defeated Croatia in one and Argentina and Lionel Messi won the famed Jules Rimet trophy in the most recent.

After four seasons in the Bavarian region, the “outstanding” defender, who joined from fellow Bundesliga team Stuttgart, is eager to force his way out of the region.

What is the latest on Pavard according to Fabrizio Romano?

Benjamin Pavard’s future and mental state are fully discussed by transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano in this interview with GIVEMESPORT.

“Bayern are now not interested in this transfer, but I have the impression that Pavard has a chance to join Man United because the player wants to leave.

In the past few days and over the weekend, Pavard has spoken with Bayern to let them know he won’t be extending his contract and that he instead wants to join Manchester United to test this possibility. Now let’s watch what transpires between the clubs.

At Old Trafford, additional developments…

As was said earlier, United has brought in a custodian, a midfielder, and a forward. The position having the most activity right now in terms of both incomings and outgoings is defence.

Even if Harry Maguire’s projected transfer to West Ham United appears to be dead in the water, he may very well fall into the latter category by the end of the transfer window.

The center-back is expected to stay and compete for a spot with players like Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof, according to Alex Crook, who is currently reporting that Ten Hag wants to keep the Englishman on staff.

To support the young Hojlund in the attacking third, there might be a second new acquisition.

The individual in question is Joao Felix of Atletico Madrid, since there have been speculations that he and manager Diego Simeone’s relationship is in trouble. While on loan with Chelsea last year, the Portuguese international displayed flashes of brilliance despite Chelsea’s obvious troubles on the pitch.
