Mirror: Erik ten Hag has 2 key reasons to bring Benjamin Pavard to Old Trafford (reliability: 4 stars)

Manchester United's opening bid for Benjamin Pavard was quickly turned down by Bayern Munich last week.

However, according to the Mirror, the Red Devils are set to return with a better proposal before the end of the window.

Erik ten Hag personally rates the 27-year-old for two reasons: his experience and versatility, something that's important to the boss.

Pavard is comfortable playing at both right-back and centre-back, allowing the Dutchman more flexibility on pitch over the course of the season.
