Manchester United have been handed a boost in their pursuit to sign Netherlands star Cody Gakpo with another potential suitor seemingly pulling out of the race to attract his signature.
Gakpo continues to earn rave reviews for his performances at the World Cup with three goals in four matches as the Netherlands have coasted through to the last-8. It means the PSV forward has been involved in 35 goals from only 30 games for club and country this season.
United manager Erik ten Hag and key figures in the Old Trafford boardroom had one eye on Gakpo before signing Antony from Ajax this summer. Leeds and Southampton were also interested from the Premier League, but Gakpo has seen interest in him and his would-be fee skyrocket.
