Manchester United have reportedly put a move for PSV Eindhoven forward Cody Gakpo on hold, as they grow confident of finalising a deal to sign Ajax winger Antony before transfer deadline day.
Erik ten Hag and the Red Devils' recruitment team are working to sign an attacker before the summer window slams shut next Thursday, with the two Eredivisie stars emerging as his top targets during the opening weeks of the new Premier League season. However, United have made a decision to prioritise Antony over Gakpo amid speculation that United could sign both players.
While a move for Gakpo isn't fully off the table, the Athletic report that interest from Old Trafford has cooled after promising developments regarding Antony's situation. Mirror Football understands that the Brazilian has handed in a transfer request at Ajax in a desperate bid to reunite with Ten Hag, who coached him for two years in Amsterdam.
