Paul Scholes has urged Manchester United to hijack a move for Arsenal target Cody Gakpo. The Red Devils were on of the clubs interested in the PSV Einhoven attacker but purchased Antony from Ajax instead, all but ending their attempts to sign the 23-year-old.
With Jadon Sancho struggling, and Gakpo also making impressive moves at the World Cup, his stock has already risen since the summer and even more attention has come his way having scored three in three for Netherlands. The Gunners are still keen to add to their own attacking firepower, and Gakpo is one of the names on Edu's list for 2023.
The path to bring him to the Emirates stadium is far from clear though and Erik ten Hag's side pose a real threat if they chose to dip back into the market themselves. United are short of a forward after Cristiano Ronaldo had his contract terminated following his interview with Piers Morgan.
