Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has identified Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch as the one player from Arne Slot’s squad he would bring to Old Trafford to strengthen United this summer.
Neville, speaking about Manchester United’s squad needs, highlighted the Netherlands international as a player who could address the club’s midfield problems.
The former defender believes Gravenberch’s physical qualities, technical ability and versatility would make him an ideal addition for United as they look to rebuild and compete at the highest level again.
Gravenberch has become an important figure at Liverpool after initially struggling for regular opportunities following his move from Bayern Munich in 2023. At Liverpool, the midfielder has developed into a key presence in the centre of the pitch, earning praise for his composure, ball-carrying ability and defensive contribution.
The former Manchester United and England right-back said: ‘There’s a few but it’s harder because Wirtz isn’t exactly jumping out at me, Isak isn’t jumping out at me, Ekitike yeah, Dominik Szoboszlai maybe…
‘I’d go with Gravenberch. If you said to me, “United, now, who would I take?”, I’d take Gravenberch probably.
‘He’s the best of the three midfielders that United would need and we need a midfielder desperately.’
Manchester United have been searching for greater consistency in midfield and have faced criticism over recruitment in recent seasons. Neville’s choice of Gravenberch reflects a belief that United require players who can provide both athleticism and technical quality in the middle of the pitch.
For Liverpool, the midfielder’s importance means any potential approach would be expected to face significant resistance. Gravenberch has established himself as part of the club’s long-term plans, making a move to Old Trafford highly unlikely despite Neville’s admiration.
The former Manchester United defender’s verdict nevertheless underlines how highly Gravenberch is now regarded across the Premier League. Once viewed as a player still adapting to English football, he has developed into one of LIVERPOOL’s most influential midfielders and a player rivals would like to have in their own squad
