Sky – New development: Manchester United considering a transfer for a player making £152,000 per week who is “better than most other footballers”
What is the most recent transfer rumor involving Manchester United?
Mason Mount, Andre Onana, and Rasmus Hojlund are the three high-profile additions that the Red Devils have made thus far this summer. There might be additional action before the deadline of September 1, but it will depend on any exits from Old Trafford.
Sofyan Amrabat and Amadou Onana are both widely rumored to be on their way to Erik ten Hag’s squad, so if many players depart, a new midfielder may be on the way.
Another player that attracted United’s attention this year was Gravenberch, and it now appears that United may be interested once more.
Manchester United and Liverpool, per Foot Mercato, have “reactivated the track leading to the Dutch international.” No offers, according to the article, have been made, but if Gravenberch were to leave Munich, he would choose a transfer to Old Trafford over Anfield.
Who is Ryan Gravenberch, exactly?
Gravenberch, who can play as a center or holding midfielder, has a contract at the Allianz Arena till 2027. The 33-cap Netherlands U21 international joined Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich from Ajax little over a year ago.
Prior to that, Gravenberch, who is paid £152,000 a week, played a significant amount of first-team football with Ajax, making over 100 appearances.
Additionally, Julian Nagelsmann, a former manager of Bayern Munich, praised Gravenberch last year, claiming that he was “better than most other footballers,” adding:
“I have complete faith in him.” He also fully understands how to play in line with our style of play. He possesses all the necessities for a football player. He can play under pressure and has a superb dribble.
Ryan outperforms the majority of European footballers his age. You need to have patience. The brand name is Bayern Munich. Since I have no excuse not to field the best, you must outperform the other players.
As a result, a move for Gravenberch may be one to watch and a possibly smart move if Man United misses out on Amrabat or Onana
With experience under Ten Hag in the Netherlands and all of his Ajax appearances occurring under the United manager, he should get better with age.
According to FBref, the 6′ 2″ midfielder has statistically impressed over the past 12 months and has drawn comparisons to Jude Bellingham of Real Madrid.
Gravenberch has shown his adaptability in a variety of positions by ranking in the top 10% of midfielders for tackles in the midfield and attacking zones, shot-creating actions, and long pass completion. Keep a watch on Ten Hag because he may view the midfielder as a wonderful addition to push players like Casemiro, Mason Mount, and Christian Eriksen.
