A number of Manchester United supporters do not believe that Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch is the answer to the club's ongoing midfield problems.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News on Monday, United are considering a move for the Netherlands international ahead of the transfer window closing next week. United want to bolster their midfield options and would have leverage to sign Gravenberch if they manage to offload fellow Dutchman Donny van de Beek.
Van de Beek has been the subject of interest from Spanish side Real Sociedad in recent weeks and talks have been held between the two clubs. He joined United in 2020 and has failed to have any sort of impact.

United have, of course, already bolstered their midfield options this summer with the signing of Mason Mount from Chelsea, but he is not the kind of midfielder that can offer defensive nous and support to Casemiro. Gravenberch, however, is more associated with the defensive side of the midfield operation, though he is not an out-and-out No.6.
The 21-year-old, who joined Bayern from Ajax last June, just weeks after Erik ten Hag left the Johan Cruyff Arena to take over at United, has made just 33 appearances for the German club, many of which have come as a substitute. He has played no part in their opening two matches of this season.
Gravenberch made north of 100 appearances at Ajax under Ten Hag, meaning the United manager knows exactly what the Reds would be getting from the youngster if they managed to sign him ahead of the transfer window closing on September 1. United, who desperately need another defensive-minded midfielder, have also been closely linked with
