Manchester United 'enter race to sign highly-rated Ajax youngster Ryan Gravenberch' but face competition from Barcelona and Juventus for midfielder's signature

Manchester United have reportedly set their sights on signing Ajax's talented midfielder Ryan Gravenberch – but face competition from Barcelona and Juventus.

The 18-year-old has been attracting interest from a host of Europe's biggest clubs after emerging from Ajax's famed youth academy to then star in Erik ten Hag's first team.

And according to the Mirror, the Red Devils are now in the race to sign the highly-rated midfielder, whose playing-style has been compared to the United's French maestro Paul Pogba.
