Goodnews – Manchester United ‘set to make bid for £50m World Cup star in January as club reveal they are willing to sell him – Erik Ten Hag and the player are sharing the same agents
United were interested in the 23-year-old in the summer but backed out of a potential deal after signing Anthony from Ajax for £85.5million.
Manchester United are reportedly ready to make an offer in January to try and sign Holland star star Cody Gakpo. But the Red Devils want attacking reinforcements following Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit and Gakpo is keen on the move.
The Dutchman, who lined up against the USA, wants to be used as a striker despite being played as a winger and a number 10 for his club and country. Gakpo has impressed at the World Cup and PSV are said to be willing to cash in should the fee be in the region of £50m.
United were interested in the 23-year-old in the summer but ultimately turned their attention to the signing of Antony and Gakpo has moved to the top of the targets list with The Sun claiming he is keen on the move.
The Dutchman, who helped his team beat the USA, would prefer to play as a striker despite being played as a winger and a No 10 for both club and country.
The two clubs are yet to enter talks but with United boss Erik Ten Hag and Gakpo sharing the same agents, there is belief a deal could be worked out smoothly as soon as the window opens next month.
