The French World Cup-winning defender is reportedly available for a transfer fee of €30-40m and has expressed his desire to leave the German side during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Pavard showcased his quality in the Bundesliga last season with an impressive pass completion rate of 90%, along with solid defensive statistics.
United manager Erik ten Hag sees the midfielder’s versatility as a valuable asset and is keen to bring him to the club.
However, the Red Devils could face tough competition from other top European clubs including Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Barcelona.
In their search for a central defender, United are also close to completing the signing of Monaco’s Axel Disasi, with just one final step remaining in the process.
