Manchester United 'scout Ryan Gravenberch ahead of potential summer bid'

Manchester United have reportedly been scouting Ajax midfielder Ryan Gravenberch ahead of a potential move during this summer's transfer window.

The 19-year-old has again been an important player for his Dutch club during the 2021-22 campaign, making 36 appearances in all competitions, contributing two goals and six assists in the process.

Gravenberch has entered the final 18 months of his contract in Amsterdam, though, and there has been a host of speculation surrounding his future in recent months.

According to The Athletic, Man United have been scouting the Netherlands international, with the English giants desperate to boost their midfield this summer.

However, the report claims that Bayern Munich are leading the race for the youngster, who is represented by super-agent Mino Raiola.

Gravenberch - also believed to be admired by Real Madrid and Barcelona - has scored 11 times and registered 13 assists in 97 appearances in all competitions for his current side.
