Erik ten Hag wants Pavard at United, this would be the role of the world champion

While Harry Maguire deal would have allowed the arrival of Benjamin Pavard to the team at this point, the manager is not giving up with the idea of him arriving to the team, and now he has offered him an important role.

Erik ten Hag wants to make sure that Manchester United has a new center back in this transfer window, and while it seems that there are several names that could arrive to the team, the fact is that Benjamin Pavard is the main target for Ten Hag, and while the deal could be more complicated if Maguire does not leave the team, the manager is making a better offer.

“L'equipe” has now reported the fact that Erik ten Hag decided to talk directly to Benjamin Pavard in the past few hours, and in those talks the manager is trying to convince him to push harder from his side to make the deal happen by guaranteeing the french defender that if he arrives to Manchester United he would become a starter for the team no matter what.

The fact is that Benjamin Pavard was set to be a replacement for Maguire, but with the injury of Lisandro Martinez and the fact that Varane is also prone to getting injured, Benjamin Pavard could arrive to the team and directly become the starting center back, and the same source believes that the world cup winner could start thinking a new strategy to force the deal to happen.

Benjamin Pavard situation

Benjamin Pavard main strategy with Bayern Munich is the fact that he has refused to sign a contract extension, and his current contract ends in the summer of 2024, so currently it is a situation of negotiate his transfer this transfer window or definitely loose him for free in one year.
