Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag wants to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch this summer, according to a report.

Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag is reportedly keen to bring Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch to Old Trafford during this summer's transfer window.

The 20-year-old was linked with a number of clubs before joining Bayern from Ajax last year, but he has found it difficult to make his mark for the Bundesliga champions.

Gravenberch has featured on 26 occasions for Bayern this season, but he has only started once in the league, with 16 of his 17 appearances in Germany's top flight coming off the bench.

The Netherlands international's future is currently being called into question ahead of the summer window, with a number of clubs believed to be keen to sign him.

Arsenal and Liverpool are both allegedly interested in his signature, but according to FootMercato, Man United are also considering moving for him in the upcoming market.

The report claims that Gravenberch is 'seriously considering' departing Bayern this summer, but he would want to be guaranteed regular playing time by any potential new club.

Man United head coach Ten Hag handed the midfielder his debut at Ajax in 2018 and is said to be keen on a reunion at Old Trafford during the summer market.

The Dutchman represented the Amsterdam outfit on 103 occasions, scoring 12 goals and registering 13 assists, before making the move to the Allianz Arena.

Man United allegedly made an attempt to acquire Gravenberch on loan in January before signing Marcel Sabitzer from the Bundesliga champions until the end of the campaign.

The youngster still has more than four years left to run on his contract at Allianz Arena, which would make it difficult for clubs to sign him this summer unless Bayern signal a willingness to sell.

Man United are expected to be in the market for at least one central midfielder this summer, with Scott McTominay potentially moving on.

However, a recent report claimed that the club's plans for the summer window are 'in limbo' due to their ownership situation, with the Glazers in talks over a sale.

Gravenberch will allegedly sit down with Der FCB at the end of the campaign to discuss his future with the Bundesliga champions.

The midfielder was an unused substitute during Bayern's 3-0 loss to Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday night.
