Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has reportedly told PSV winger Cody Gakpo that he sees him as the 'perfect' replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo.
According to the Mirror, the Dutchman has told Gakpo that he is the man to replace Ronaldo at Old Trafford. The report even claims that the attacker could take the No.7 shirt as Ten Hag looks to continue the rebuild of his United squad following the £225million he spent in the summer transfer window.
It is thought that Ten Hag will look to the relationship he had with Gakpo during his time in charge of the PSV academy more than ten years ago. The Dutchman is understood to have kept up a friendship with both the 23-year-old and his family, as the forward considers his options away from the Eredivisie.
