Man United have officially reached agreement with world class defender to replace Harry Maguire

Manchester United has reached an agreement in principle with the 27-year-old defender, and an offer has been made.

Manchester United is hoping to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Benjamin Pavard.

According to Florian Plettenberg, the Red Devils have made a bid to sign the versatile French international, but it has been rejected.

The defender is eager to join Manchester United this summer and has already reached a verbal deal with the Premier League team.

Manchester United are hoping to improve their defensive options before the summer transfer window closes and the 27-year-old could prove to be a quality acquisition.

Pavard is versatile enough to operate as the central defender as well as a full-back. He has proven his quality at the highest level with club and country. The 27-year-old was a part of the French national team that won the World Cup in 2018.

Manchester United are expected to part ways with players like Harry Maguire this summer and they will need to bring in alternatives.

Pavard could prove to be an upgrade on the England international and it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils can agree on a fee with his club now.

Bayern Munich will not want to let the player leave for a knockdown price and Manchester United will have to agree to the demands in order for the move to go through.

The fact that the 27-year-old defender is keen on a move to Manchester United will certainly come as a major boost for the Red Devils, who will now look to iron out an agreement with his club.
