There are rumors that Man United is also interested in signing Ryan Gravenberch. We all know Pogba still hasn't signed a contract extension at Man United, so it's only natural that Man United is also preparing some alternatives, such as trying to sign Ryan Gravenberch. If so many big teams are very interested in Ryan Gravenberch then it's very likely that Ajax will set a high price for him.
Regardless of who will be able to sign Ryan Gravenberch, I think this player will be able to shine even more because he is still young and has a slick talent.
I would say it is not really compared right? I mean Pogba is much better player and I assume that they already know this. I am guessing that the best way to approach this would be seeing him as the bench player and keep Pogba and only think of him as replacement if Pogba doesn't sign. Don't get me wrong Ajax is known to distribute many great players over course of many years and I get that, but the reality is that we are talking about something that is dangerously risky if they are doing it to let go of Pogba.
Get Ryan, play him in some Fa cup games, play him in some league games, play him whenever someone is injured, and you get yourself like 15 or so games with him, and use him as sub to put him in games and he will get like another 5 games worth of minutes that way, so he would be useful. But this isn't really the transfer that will make sending Pogba go easier.
when indeed Pogba still wants to play at MU maybe this can be an option in the sense that Ryan can be a backup.
but when he really wants to leave like now I think inevitably Rangnick must look for options to patch up pogba's departure.
and the problem is that to this day I haven't seen any signs of Pogba extending his contract and still don't want to sign a new contract with United
