MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly eyeing Bayern Munich star Benjamin Pavard as they hunt for a replacement for Harry Maguire.

Maguire’s Old Trafford is finally about to end after United agreed a £30million deal with West Ham on Wednesday.

Jean-Clair Todibo is on Man United’s shortlist to replace Harry Maguire

Edmond Tapsoba is out of contract next summer

Marc Guehi is among the recent list, but may be too expensive to persue for United

And Pavard’s name is on a four-man list earmarked to replace the England defender, according to the Mail Online.

The versatile defender has been on United’s shortlist since the winter transfer window of last season.

And, with one year left on his current contract, United may be able to recruit the World Cup-winner on an affordable deal and he is said to be “keen” on leaving.

The other candidates listed in Ten Hag’s notebook are reportedly Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, Jean-Clair Todibo, and Edmond Tapsoba.

Another important consideration for United to consider is Tapsoba’s contract, which expires next summer.

However, his German team, Bayer Leverkusen, will not be prepared to sell him for a low price.

Since moving to Nice for £8.5 million in 2021 from Barcelona, Todibo has flourished.

The centre-half, 23, has also attracted interest from Juventus this summer but the Italians were put off by his £35m price-tag.

Although that might appear inexpensive in comparison to Guehi, who would cost Palace more after winning four caps for England in the previous season.

Luke Shaw occasionally stepped in last season, but United are left with Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, and Victor Lindelof to play in the center of defense without Maguire.

Eric Bailly, who recently returned from his loan at Marseille, is still listed on the roster.

Additionally, Jonny Evans, who joined the team on a temporary contract during preseason, is still there.

The 35-year-old veteran might continue as a productive short-term option while the team searches for a more youthful replacement.
