Manchester United is targeting Edmond Tapsoba, the Bayer Leverkusen player, but also Benjamin Pavard.

The English media footballtransfers claims the club are looking to sign a right-footed centre-back following Harry Maguire’s impending departure to West Ham for around £30m.

Erik ten Hag wanted Kim Min-jae but the 26-year-old eventually signed for Bayern Munich as his side weren’t ready to wait for Man Utd to make enough player sales to bring him to Old Trafford. Benjamin Pavard is still high on the list. Ten Hag likes to use players who can play in the middle or on the flank of a defensive line.

The Frenchman has just one year left on his contract which means he would be one of the cheapest options for Man Utd. Other names coveted by the Red Devils include Jean-Clair Todibo (Nice) and Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton), the latter having had a superb campaign with PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie last season.
