Cody Gakpo has announced himself on the biggest stage with goals in each of the Netherlands opening two World Cup games – having held talks to join Manchester United.
The PSV Eindhoven attacker appeared set to leave the Eredivisie club this summer as Old Trafford looked to be his most likely destination. The Dutch international ace has attracted Premier League attention while the 23-year-old has spoken directly about United’s interest in his signature.
However, Gakpo eventually remained in Eindhoven as his move to United did not come to fruition, despite holding conversations with boss Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils boss was well aware of Gakpo’s talents having faced him as an opposition when he was at the helm of Ajax.
