Manchester United 'join the race for Ajax's Ryan Gravenberch'

Manchester United are reportedly preparing to battle the likes of Barcelona and Juventus for the signature of Ajax teenager Ryan Gravenberch in 2021.

The 18-year-old, who has contributed two assists in six appearances for Ajax this season, is believed to be a transfer target for both Barca and Juve.

However, according to The Mirror, United are also firmly in the hunt for the Netherlands Under-21 international.

The report claims that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are 'keeping tabs' on the central midfielder as they weigh up a move in either January or at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.

Gravenberch, who has a contract in Amsterdam until June 2023, has already turned out on 20 occasions for Ajax's first team, contributing four goals and three assists.

The Red Devils signed Donny van de Beek from the Dutch giants over the summer.
