In a recent report, Fichajes claimed that Manchester United are eyeing a move for AC Milan defender Strahinja Pavlovic. It has been mentioned that the Red Devils are hoping to acquire the services of the Serbian centre-back this off-season.
Pavlovic’s Impressive Form In Serie A
Pavlovic has enjoyed a good run of form at the Italian club after he put in a run of impressive displays for them on the defensive end of the field. The 24-year-old has scored five times and earned one assist in 36 matches for AC Milan this season across all fronts.
The Serbian talent is currently among the best centre-backs in Serie A. Thus, it is no surprise that Man United are keen on bringing him to the Theatre of Dreams this off-season.
His current contract at Old Trafford will run out in the summer of 2028, which could make it difficult for the Red Devils to sign him on the cheap in this upcoming transfer period.

Is Pavlovic A Good Choice For Manchester United Boss Michael Carrick?
Pavlovic is a solid tackler of the ball and can sense the danger well to secure the ball back for his team inside his half. He doesn’t mind putting his foot through the ball when required and excels at playing his way out from the back.
Standing at 1.94m, the Serbian talent can use his strong frame to dominate the opposition attackers in the air. However, only time will tell whether he can make a smooth transition to life in the Premier League if the Red Devils manage to snap him up this summer.
We can expect Pavlovic to bring more quality and depth to Man United head coach Michael Carrick’s defence. He has what it takes to challenge for a regular first-team spot at the Mancunian club in the coming years.
At 24, Pavlovic has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a decent choice for Man United to consider this summer. However, Carrick has to give him some time to adjust to life in England before he can get the best out of the player. All in all, Pavlovic would be a decent choice for the Mancunian giants to consider this off-season.
