Manchester United are joining Arsenal and Liverpool in the race to sign Ajax midfielder Ryan Gravenberch this summer.
That is according to a report from 90Min, who claim that Erik ten Hag wants a reunion with Gravenberch.
The pair worked together at Ajax and Gravenberch was actually given his senior debut by Ten Hag in Amsterdam.
It’s stated that United have joined Arsenal and Liverpool in asking to be kept informed on developments surrounding Gravenberch.
Gravenberch hailed Ten Hag for turning him into a star and admitted that United wanted him last summer – but he had already given his word to Bayern.
The Bundesliga giants struck a deal worth up to £21million for Gravenberch last season, believing he would be a star of the future.
Yet after a difficult first season in Bavaria, Gravenberch may well be tempted to leave Munich for a fresh start elsewhere.
Manchester United pose a real threat to Arsenal and Liverpool in Ryan Gravenberch race
Arsenal and Liverpool have been strongly linked with Gravenberch in recent days.
The Gunners are looking for midfielders this summer with Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo on the radar.
Liverpool have pulled out of the Jude Bellingham race but are still being linked with a host of midfielders, including Mason Mount.
Gravenberch is still a top talent at just 20 and has the size, athletic ability and technical qualities to be moulded into any type of midfielder.
Arsenal and Liverpool would have been hoping to win this race but Ten Hag’s presence really complicates things.
Gravenberch was on a great trajectory with Ten Hag and has struggled in just one year without him, making just one league start this season.
The prospect of playing for Ten Hag may be very appealing and United could end up beating Arsenal and Liverpool in this race.
