Cody Gakpo has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United to replace the recently departed Cristiano Ronaldo.
United were heavily linked with the Dutch forward in the summer as Erik ten Hag looked to upgrade his squad but a move never materialised. However, Gakpo confirmed in an interview that he had been in talks over a move to Old Trafford.
Speaking to The Times, he said: “I was close to leaving, I spoke to Erik ten Hag a few times at Manchester United."
