      Gravenberch, 21, looks set to leave Bayern after falling down the pecking order at the club.
      The midfielder was usually called upon from the bench by manager Thomas Tuchel last season, and that continued today during Bayern’s 3-1 win over Augsburg.
      Gravenberch came on in the 81st minute of a game that saw Bayern new boy Harry Kane continue his excellent start in Bavaria by scoring two goals.
      After the match however, he poured doubt over his future in a Bayern shirt, saying: “I don‘t know what will happen in the next days,” when asked about his future by Bild.

      Gravenberch is also attracting interest from Liverpool with the Merseyside club keen to reinforce their midfield options.
      While Liverpool have already utilised the Bundesliga to reinforce their midfield with the signing of Stuttgart midfielder Wataru Endo, they are understood to still be interested in bolstering their midfield.
      Reports this month suggested that Liverpool sent two officials to Munich to lay the groundwork on a potential deal for the young Dutchman.
      United meanwhile have been tracking Gravenberch for the majority of this transfer window in order to add some much needed balance to a midfield of Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro and Mason Mount that has thus far failed to click.

      It’s understood that the Red Devils are weighting up their options between the Dutchman and Fiorentina captain Sofyan Amrabat.

      Amrabat was left out of Fiorentina’s squad against Lecce this weekend but the Italian club’s sporting director last week said so far no bid has been received from United.
      It is understood that Mason Greenwood’s exit from the club has seen a change in transfer policy at United – with Ten Hag favouring signing a new forward over signing a midfielder now that it is clear Greenwood will not be reintegrated into the squad.
      Gravenberch is reportedly desperate to leave Bayern as he looks to secure a starting place in Holland’s midfield at Euro 2024.
      Bayern will ask for around £22million to secure his signature. More

      Why Liverpool’s £60m transfer’s secret weapon is his tiny feet – after his dad ‘deliberately stopped them growing’

      LIVERPOOL star Dominik Szoboszlai’s secret weapon is his tiny feet – that his dad reportedly tried to stop from growing.The Hungarian international joined the Reds for £60million from RB Leipzig this summer.

      Zsolt Szoboszlai coached his son using unique methods
      Szoboszlai starred in the Bundesliga, scoring 20 goals and 22 assists in 91 matches as he helped the club win two domestic cups and qualify for the Champions League twice.
      His coach as a youngster was his father Zsolt, who played as a professional in Austria and Hungary.
      Hungarian footballers idolise Ferenc Puskas.
      He scored 84 goals in 85 games for his country while also helping them make the World Cup final in 1954.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Puskas also netted 242 goals in 262 games for Real Madrid and is widely-regarded as one of their best ever players.
      The legend, who passed away in 2006 aged 79, stood at 5ft 7in and had a low centre of gravity, powerful things and tiny feet.
      Coaches in Hungary often try to model players based on Puskas and Szoboszlai’s father apparently went to extreme lengths to try to shape him into the perfect player.
      The Athletic report that Zsolt forced his son to wear boots that were too small in attempt to stop his feet growing.

      Szoboszlai’s stats last season
      And it may have worked as Szoboszlai stands at 6ft 1in tall, but supposedly has just UK size seven feet.
      The 22-year-old possesses a powerful long-shot and good technical ability suggesting maybe having small feet is the key.
      Zsolt implemented other unique ideas to help his son grow into one of the most exciting young talents in football.
      The family did not have a garden when growing up and Szoboszlai trained indoors at times.
      He was made to slalom dribble between water bottles positioned around the house and if he knocked one over he would have to start again.
      Szoboszlai was also made to play on the pitch while holding golf balls so he learnt how to win the ball back without pulling shirts or committing fouls.
      Liverpool’s new boy cites his father as “the biggest influence on my life” and thanked him for helping his career. More
