At the beginning of this week, the first reports emerged that English record champions Manchester United were seriously interested in Aleksandar Pavlovic from FC Bayern. How exactly this personality is actually handled at the Red Devils has now been revealed.
At least it was said in the “Bild” podcast “Bayern Insider” on Thursday that Pavlovic is actually on Man United’s wish list. The tenth-placed team in the Premier League is still not really getting going this season and is still actively looking for possible reinforcements for the winter. The 21-year-old Bayern star is said to have become the focus of interest.
According to “Bild” head of football Christian Falk, a possible sale of the German national player as early as January 2026 is not an issue at all at FC Bayern. After a few absences due to injury and illness last year, Pavlovic had only just returned to full fitness and had played seven games in the Bundesliga and Champions League so far this season.
ManUnited had already called on the player’s management through intermediaries. However, there has not yet been more than one expression of interest.
FC Bayern is firmly planning on Pavlovic
The Munich native is under a long-term contract with FC Bayern until 2029; his working paper should not contain an exit clause. So far this season he has shared the two six-man positions with his national team colleagues Leon Goretzka and Joshua Kimmich under head coach Vincent Kompany.

The Bayern coach himself recently praised Pavlovic for his clearly improving form curve.
According to “Bild” information, Manchester United could significantly increase its efforts to recruit the Bayern veteran in the medium term. At least during the winter break, the Munich team will definitely want to keep their youngster.
