Bayern Munich defender Benjamin Pavard has admitted that he could see himself leaving the club after Man Utd were interested in him during the summer.
The right-back earned a move to Bayern Munich a few months after he helped France win the World Cup in 2018.
Pavard has played 127 times for the German side over the past few seasons as he has won three Bundesliga titles and one Champions League.

One of Man Utd’s priorities in the summer was to sign a new right-back, but they were unable to get a deal done.

United also reportedly made an ‘approach’ for Pavard, but this was ‘rejected’ as Bayern were keen to keep the defender.
A move could be back on the table next year if Pavard does not extend his contract. His current deal expires in 2024.
