Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson has urged his old club to 'hijack' Manchester United's attempts to sign Cody Gakpo in January.
United were interested in Gakpo during the summer as talks to sign Antony hit the rocks. Ten Hag had conversations with the Dutch forward's agent as he looked to strike a deal.
Those initial discussions did not develop though as eventually, United would sign Antony. However, following Cristiano Ronaldo's dramatic departure last month, the Reds are now in serious need of a forward to fill a gap in their forward line.
