Today’s gossip should’ve picked Andy Brehme
Bayern Munich’s pursuit of Harry Ka– nah, sorry, we just can’t do it, it’s triggering. But we can regale you with a freshish rumour involving Bayern Munich. According to tonight’s digital chip paper, Manchester United would like to spend their Harry Maguire winnings on Bayern’s Benjamin Pavard, whose ability to play centre-back and right-back – and score the occasional thundercracker from 25 yards – would stop those nasty fever dreams Erik ten Hag keeps having.
United reportedly have back-up options should Bayern tell them where to stick their £30m: Jean-Clair Todibo of Nice, Edmond Tapsoba of Bayer Leverkusen and – fire up the English Tax calculator – Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace. But their pursuit of Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat may have taken a wrong turn, with suggestions that Amrabat has been wooed by talk of midfield badassery from Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone.
