Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has his heart set on a move to England amid links to Manchester United.
United appear to be in the market for another midfielder this summer with Erik ten Hag needing another option.
Casemiro, Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes haven’t really clicked as a midfield three just yet and rumours surrounding a new midfielder have been rife.
Sofyan Amrabat and Amadou Onana have been touted of late with United looking for legs and mobility in the middle.
There is another rumour which has really ramped up in the last few days, and it surrounds one of Ten Hag’s former Ajax players.
Manchester United ramp up Ryan Gravenberch interest
Reports from Foot Mercato last week suggested that United and Liverpool had reactivated their pursuits of Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch.
The Mirror even suggested earlier this week that United have joined Liverpool in tabling a contract offer to Gravenberch.
The Dutch midfielder only joined Bayern last summer, completing a move from Ajax worth around £21million.
Gravenberch didn’t play quite as much as he hoped or expected, starting just three Bundesliga games.
