The Frenchman's stock rose dramatically after his World Cup heroics helped France at the World Cup in Russia. The defender plays in the Bundesliga for VfB Stuttgart, and he is just 22 years old.
The youngster has played more than 1000 minutes in the Bundesliga, and it seems like his World Cup form was not just a fluke, but he is the real deal.
Pavard was heavily linked with a move this summer to Bayern Munich and Dortmund, while The Red Devils and The Gunners were also linked with a move for the talented youngster. But he stayed with Stuttgart, as he believes he owes a debt to the German side.
There is very little to say about how good he is, as he has already proven himself on the biggest stage of world football. The chance to play at one of the biggest clubs in world football should be enough to tempt Pavard to come to Old Trafford.
He is a very versatile defender capable of playing anywhere in the back four. He can operate as centre back and as a left back as well. He is a very hardworking defender, a kind of player Mourinho would love to have in his squad.
At 6'2 inches he can provide plenty of aerial strength, and at the age of 22, his best years are yet to come, and he could be a long term solution to Manchester United's right back position as well.
