Man Utd are in desperate need of strengthening their midfield - this is why Ryan Gravenberch could be the perfect match
In the Chinese Zodiac, Ryan Gravenberch was a few months out from being born in the year of the snake but it doesn't stop the midfielder describing himself as one.
Mason Mount was the first summer signing, a player the United boss was determined to sign and delighted to capture. He has the attributes to fit into the Reds system but the early signs of the England international playing in an advanced midfield role alongside Bruno Fernandes with Casemiro sitting have been concerning. It's no surprise to see United links with midfielders intensify.
Pogba showed in flashes his world-class ability at United and Gravenberch is of a similar build and can offer the same drive from the middle of the park as the Frenchman. He could provide United with the consistent all-round threat that Pogba failed to do should the youngster move to Old Trafford. At 15, shortly before he became Ajax's youngest debutant - no mean feat given the calibre of player produced by the Amsterdam outfit - he was wanted by PSG but opted to stay put, putting his football first.

The transfer window is in full swing and United have got their hands on three players well in advance of the September 1 deadline, with Rasmus Hojlund joining Mason Mount and Andre Onana at Old Trafford. "I just want to play more, preferably at Bayern Munich, otherwise at a club where I play 100 per cent," he said earlier this year. "That's where my preference lies, because I don't want to have another year like the one I've had now. One such season is good. I learned a lot, but I want to play football."
