Manchester United have reportedly had a surprise bid for Bayern Munich defender Benjamin Pavard rejected.
France international Pavard predominantly plays at right-back but his versatility has seen him fill in across the back line for Bayern in recent seasons.
The 26-year-old was being targeted as competition for both Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka as well as United's current crop of centre-backs as boss Erik ten Hag continues to rebuild his squad.
The German giants have, however, turned down the advances of the Red Devils after they approached Bayern about a potential deal, according to French outlet L'Equipe.
