The footballing world was stunned to discover Cody Gakpo would be making a move to the Premier League but not to don the red of Manchester United earlier this week.
For months it seemed as if the ex-PSV Eindhoven star was destined to line up at Old Trafford under the guidance of a fellow Dutchman in Erik ten Hag. However, following some late intervention from the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Jurgen Klopp, Gakpo has since been unveiled as a Liverpool player.
There is fear among the United fanbase that Gakpo's decision to choose Merseyside over Manchester could spell trouble for the Red Devils' forward line this season, with Ten Hag's men already one striker down following Cristiano Ronaldo's controversial exit last month.
