Man Utd join Liverpool in the 'race' to sign Bayern star

Manchester United have reportedly entered the race to sign Bayern Munich midfielder, who previously worked under Erik ten Hag.

Ryan Gravenberch joined the Bavarians from Ajax Amsterdam last season in deal reportedly worth €25million.

However, the Dutch midfielder has struggled for regular minutes with Bundesliga giants and has made just 22 appearances in the top-flight.

Football Insider have now reported that the Red Devils have joined Liverpool in the race to sign the  20-year-old midfielder next season.

Reports claim that Ten Hag is looking to improve the midfield area with more powerful players and is keen to reunite with his former player.

Gravenberch made 42 appearances in the 2021/2022 season under Ten Hag at Ajax, as they went on to claim the Dutch Eredivisie title.

Ten Hag has already raided the Dutch giants for Lisandro Martinez and Antony since he joined the Red Devils, with both players playing key roles in the second half of the season.

Gravenberch recently spoke about about his first season in Germany and claimed the current role does not match his expectations.

"In the beginning, of course, I had to get used to it here, a new environment," Gravenberch told VI.

"Everything is much faster, sometimes even training sessions felt like competitions.

"It's a top European club, you can't miss a thing, but I feel like that 'getting used to it' has been behind my for a while now.

"Training and playing at the top level for a year is beautiful and instructive. I say playing, but it's mainly training. That has to change next season, then I really want to play weekly again. I haven't spoken to the club management yet, so just wait and see what happens. But it's clear that this role does not match my expectations."
