Man United icon Gary Neville explains why he's not disappointed following Cody Gakpo's move to Liverpool

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has suggested that he wasn't disappointed when Cody Gakpo signed for Liverpool instead of the Reds.

The Dutch attacker signed for the Merseyside outfit earlier this week from PSV Eindhoven, with Liverpool paying between £35m and £45m for the 23-year-old, who scored three goals in five appearances at the World Cup in Qatar. He will officially join the club on New Year's Day when the transfer window opens.

United were interested in Gakpo in the summer, but instead opted to prioritise the signing of Antony from Ajax. The Reds were linked with a move for the player in the upcoming transfer window, but the club will instead look to recruit a forward on loan, rather than on a permanent deal.
