# Manchester United: Red Devils ‘offered’ Benjamin Pavard

**[Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/) have been ‘offered’ a summer move for Bayern Munich right-back Benjamin Pavard, with Chelsea also thought to be in the conversation.**

### The Lowdown: Pavard among Europe’s best

The 26-year-old has matured into one of the best right-backs in Europe, producing consistently reliable performances for both Bayern and France.

Pavard made [24 starts](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/259648/Show/Benjamin-Pavard) in the Bundesliga last season and won the 2018 World Cup with *Les Bleus*, scoring a [sensational goal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov39iGAgEn4) in the last-16 victory over Argentina.

It could be that the Frenchman is allowed to leave Bayern this summer, however, and a fresh update claims United could be in line to snap him up.

### The Latest: Man Utd linked with move

According to [*Sport1*](https://www.sport1.de/news/fussball/bundesliga/2022/07/fc-bayern-im-pavard-dilemma-an-chelsea-oder-united-verkaufen-oder-als-rechtsverteidiger-behalten) \[via [*Sport Witness*](https://sportwitness.co.uk/player-offered-chelsea-manchester-united-week-blues-consider-interesting-option/)\], Pavard has actually been offered to both United and Chelsea, potentially leading to a tussle for his signature this summer. It is the Blues who are keener on signing him, though.

His future is described as ‘open’, although Bayern would demand a ‘handsome transfer fee’.

### The Verdict: Ideal Wan-Bissaka upgrade

Whether or not a deal for Pavard actually goes through remains to be seen, but he is someone who could be a perfect upgrade for Aaron Wan-Bissaka as United’s first-choice right-back.

While not necessarily as flamboyant as someone like Trent Alexander-Arnold, the France man is technically gifted enough to serve the attacking role Erik ten Hag wants from his full-backs, [hailed](https://www.goal.com/en-cm/news/pavard-will-be-one-of-bayerns-best-ever-signings-hoeness/k8zvb4gemrae1fh9xjq8klfzs) as ‘wonderful’ by Bayern legend Uli Hoeness and completing [88 per cent](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/259648/Show/Benjamin-Pavard) of his Bundesliga passes last season.

With Lisandro Martinez already coming in this summer, Pavard, ranked in the [99th percentile across Europe for passes from a right-back](https://fbref.com/en/players/45a03961/Benjamin-Pavard), would further sure up United’s unconvincing defence, although Chelsea look to be favourites to get their man.
