Erik ten Hag warned Cody Gakpo transfer not a priority as Man Utd duo criticised

Manchester United must prioritise signing a "more experienced winger" than Netherlands hero Cody Gakpo in the January transfer window.

That's the view of former Red Devils defender Jaap Stam, who believes Erik ten Hag should target someone more established than 23-year-old Gakpo. The PSV Eindhoven forward hasn't had any taste of Premier League football but has showcased his talent in the Europa League, scoring three goals in the competition this season.

Gakpo has been mightily impressive for the Dutch at the World Cup, netting three times in his opening three matches at the tournament. He is joint-top scorer at the competition alongside the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Enner Valencia and Marcus Rashford, with Gakpo scoring 60 per cent of Netherlands' goals in Qatar.
