Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has added Dutch footballer of the Year Cody Gakpo to his wanted list - as the Cristiano Ronaldo rebellion continues to rumble.
Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong remains United’s No 1 target and Ten Hag is prepared to play a waiting game until the transfer window is about to slam shut to get his man. But Ten Hag is also continuing a search for a new forward with Ronaldo’s reluctance to spend another season at Old Trafford continuing to fester.
And with Ajax demanding £80million for Brazilian winger Antony, that has prompted Ten Hag to shift his attention to PSV Eindhoven highly-rated Dutch international Gakpo. Arsenal and Leeds have also registered an interest in 23-year-old Gakpo, who would cost around £40million.
