Man Utd already have Cody Gakpo back-up lined up after changing mind on transfer

Manchester United will look to sign a striker in January after PSV Eindhoven forward Cody Gakpo agreed to join Liverpool in a £45million deal.

United have saved £16million on wages with their former highest-earning star, Cristiano Ronaldo, ending his relationship with the club by mutual consent last month, following his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan. His exit has further depleted his club’s attacking ranks.

Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial are the only remaining senior strikers at the club, with Antony, Anthony Elanga, Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho the options in the wide forward positions. However, United are short in attacking numbers as Ten Hag prefers to play three forward players. With a busy schedule ahead, the Dutchman wants signings.
