Why do Manchester United want to sign Benjamin Pavard? Here we bring you a tactical analysis of the player as a centre back.
Pavard seems like he will be the centre back that United will push to sign. Erik Ten Hag had named Jean-Clair Todibo and the Bayern defender as his top targets.
Many fans are not sold on Pavard. However, the centre back is a great player and could be another top signing by the Dutchman in this transfer window.
