Manchester United and Liverpool are competing to sign Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich, with the Merseysiders currently leading the race.

Alfredo Pedulla revealed ten days ago that the Oranje midfielder would prefer to return to Old Trafford and play under Erik ten Hag.

Christian Falk, the Head of Football for Bild, recently stated that Gravenberch is open to joining both Manchester United and Liverpool.

He wants to move to the Premier League, wants to leave Bayern, and will choose the club that will give him a chance to play regularly. According to the German journalist, the Anfield club is currently in control.

“I believe Gravenberch is interested in both Liverpool and Manchester United.” He’s a big fan of the Premier League.”

“He’ll go with the team that shows him he’ll get playing time.” I believe Klopp is a very good person to pursue people, so I believe Liverpool is currently leading this race.”

Last season, the 21-year-old midfielder, who earns around £200,000 per week before tax, only started six games in all competitions.

So far in the current season, Bayern has played two games and the Dutch international has not played a single minute. If he stays with the Bavarians, he will most likely continue to warm the bench.

As a result, a transfer is the best option. Should Manchester United spend the money to reunite Gravenberch with Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford, in your opinion?

Man United: Ten Hag could unlock Antony by signing £50m goal machine

Manchester United hasn’t had the best start to their 2023/24 Premier League season. A lackluster 1-0 vic tory over Wolverhampton Wanderers was followed by a humiliating 2-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

Erik ten Hag has only signed three players so far: Andre Onana, Rasmus Hojlund, and Mason Mount, but based on their attacking efforts in the first two games, more firepower is needed.

The club appears to be preparing a move for Brazilian striker Marcos Leonardo, but is an Englishman on Ten Hag’s radar?

Is Manchester United bringing in a new player?According to FootballTransfers, Manchester United are interested in signing Brentford striker Ivan Toney.The player is banned from playing until January because he was found guilty by the FA of numerous gambling violations, giving Ten Hag time to raise the necessary funds to entice him to the North West.

The Bees have set a £50 million price for their prized asset, and the Dutchman may have to move on a player or two before making a firm offer.

What will become of Ivan Toney now?His eight-month suspension will last until January, meaning he will be unable to play for Brentford during that time.

Although United needs firepower right now, it appears that they are willing to wait for Toney, and Ten Hag will be hoping for improved performances from players like Antony.

The Brazilian joined United from Ajax last summer for around £86 million but has yet to show his true abilities in a United jersey.

He did contribute 11 goals – eight goals and three assists – but this was significantly less than the 12 goals and ten assists he had the previous season with the Dutch side.

The winger finished in the top five on the team in league assists (two) and big chances created (two), and with a new season ahead of him, the pressure will be on him to succeed at the Red Devils.

Indeed, signing Toney could help Antony get back to his best, with the £20k-per-week gem able to link up well with his fellow attackers, and the 27-year-old has registered 21 assists for his club over the previous three seasons.

ivan-toney-brentford-premier-leagueLast season, the former Peterborough United striker created a whopping 12 big chances while averaging 0.8 key passes, demonstrating that he does more than just score goals when leading the line.

His 20 league goals were second only to Erling Haaland and Harry Kane, and Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher praised him as “one of the best attacking players in the league” and “reminiscent of Harry Kane,” which is certainly high praise given how well the Bayern Munich star has performed in England.

Toney may not solve all of United’s problems if he moves to Manchester in January, but Ten Hag could forge a lethal attacking setup by deploying him alongside Antony in his starting XI.

The Brazilian needs players to link up with, and based on Toney’s recent statistics, he could be the ideal player to lead the line for the club while also unlocking the Brazilian.
