  • United over £20m off Bayern demands
  • Pavard wants United transfer
  • Negotiations continue between two clubs

WHAT HAPPENED? According to Bild, United are willing to pay around £25 million ($32m) for the French right-back. That sum is significantly below Bayern's reported asking price of between €45m (£39m/$49m) and €50m (£43m/$55m).

THE BIGGER PICTURE: United are in the market for a right-back as Erik ten Hag is not entirely satisfied with Aaron Wan-Bissaka or Diogo Dalot, his two current options in that position.

AND WHAT'S MORE: Pavard wants to leave Bayern, and until Manchester City's Kyle Walker changed his mind about joining the Bundesliga champions, they were happy to sell him. Now, they will only let Pavard go if their hefty asking price is met.
