Benjamin Pavard to Stay at Bayern Munich, Says Thomas Tuchel
In the midst of transfer rumors linking Benjamin Pavard to Manchester United, Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel has stated that the defender has not expressed any desire to leave the club. Tuchel intends to utilize Pavard as the Bundesliga season kicks off this week.
Pavard has been a subject of interest for Manchester United during the current transfer window. However, the Red Devils’ failure to sell Harry Maguire has made it difficult for them to make room in their squad and generate transfer funds. Despite United’s interest, Tuchel insists that Pavard has not indicated any intention to leave Bayern Munich.
During a press conference, Tuchel stated, “Benji hasn’t communicated to me that he really wants to leave. As of now, there hasn’t been an offer. He’s our player and gets full support. Until that changes, we’re fully counting on him.”
Tuchel is expected to give Harry Kane his first start for Bayern Munich when they face Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga opener. The manager believes that Kane’s arrival has already had a positive impact on the team.
“The Harry Kane effect will not evaporate,” said Tuchel. “His influence works on so many levels that you cannot realize because you do not witness it daily. He is important in the changing room, on the pitch, because of his character, his professionalism, how hard he trains, and how after the defeat he was first on the pitch for training with the reserves.”
Tuchel is confident that Kane will improve the team’s chances of winning matches. He stated, “He gives us a lot of options and will get all the time to fully adapt, but I am sure he will have his impact tomorrow.”
While Pavard’s future at Bayern Munich seems secure for now, Manchester United may need to explore alternative options. The club has been considering a move for Pavard, who is capable of playing as a full-back or center-back. However, with the transfer window closing soon, United will need to act quickly if they want to secure a new defensive signing.
In other news, former Manchester United player Nemanja Vidic has praised Lisandro Martinez, describing him as an “aggressive” player. Vidic believes that Martinez would be a valuable addition to the United squad.
Meanwhile, Arsenal is reportedly considering hijacking Manchester United’s move for Benjamin Pavard. The Gunners are looking for defensive reinforcements following Jurrien Timber’s injury and see Pavard as a potential solution.
