BENJAMIN PAVARD is said to be fuming after a potential move to the Premier League fell through.
The France international was seemingly set to be surplus to requirements at Bayern Munich when the German champions began pursuing Kyle Walker.
Thomas Tuchel began pursuing Walker last month in a bid to bolster his back four – which was at sixes and sevens when his troops played Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-finals last season.
Bayern's pursuit of Walker reportedly prompted Manchester United to enquire about Pavard's availability.
According to BILD, the Bavarians were open to cashing in on the 27-year-old full-back.
But it's claimed they changed their mind when it became apparent that Walker wouldn't swap the Etihad for the Allianz Arena.

Pavard is said to be "upset" that he won't be allowed to move onto pastures new.
Bayern have been busy in the transfer market over the last few days – completing the blockbuster signing of Harry Kane from Tottenham.
The Bundesliga big boys snapped up Spurs and England's all-time leading goalscorer last Saturday in a deal worth £104million.
Kane – who debuted in Bayern's Super Cup defeat to RB Leipzig – said: "I'm very happy to be part of Bayern.

Kane, 30, issued an emotional farewell message to Spurs fans after his departure was confirmed, saying: "I'm sad to be leaving the club I've spent nearly 20 years of my life at.
"From an 11-year-old boy to a 30-year-old man.
"There have been so many great moments and special memories that I will cherish forever.
