Man Utd end interest in World Cup winner

Manchester United have cooled their interest in signing Benjamin Pavard from Bayern Munich this summer.

The France international was recently fancied to join the Red Devils as a replacement for the outgoing Harry Maguire.

However, the scenario has completely changed in the last few days with Maguire deciding against leaving the club.

United agreed a deal worth £30 million to sell the Englishman to West Ham, but he refused to agree terms with them.

As a result, the Red Devils are no longer interested in signing a central defender and have ended the pursuit of Pavard.

The World Cup winner could still move to the Premier League with interest from the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal.

The Gunners in particular could be keen on his services after losing Jurrien Timber to a serious knee injury last weekend.

Timber requires an operation as a result. The Dutchman won't be available to return until the beginning of March at least.
