Manchester United told to avoid Cody Gakpo transfer despite brilliant World Cup start

Former Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham has told his old club to stay away from Cody Gakpo as he is too 'flitty'.

Gakpo has caught the eye of many so far at the World Cup thanks to his displays for the Netherlands. He scored for the Dutch against Senegal on Monday and then followed that goal up with a powerful strike in a 1-1 draw with Ecuador on Friday.

Primarily a winger for his domestic side, the 23-year-old showed his flexibility in the forward areas as he lined up in the front two alongside Steven Bergwijn. During the World Cup, it is likely that United will be keeping a close eye on those who are scoring goals.
