Liverpool are closing in on a move for Bayern Munich outcast Ryan Gravenberch and Manchester United may be left cursing their luck.
The Red Devils pushed hard to sign the midfielder during last summer's transfer window, having starred under new United boss Erik ten Hag at Ajax. Instead, the Dutchman joined Bayern in a deal worth more than £20million.
Gravenberch was a key player for Ajax during Ten Hag's final two years at the Johan Cruyff Arena and won a trio of Eredivisie titles during his four seasons in their first-team. That attracted the interest of United who were looking to improve their midfield options.
