Cody Gakpo has been waiting for a transfer to Manchester United for a 'long time.'
That's according to former PSV Eindhoven technical director John de Jong, who claims that the exciting forward nearly moved to Old Trafford in the last week of the summer transfer window before the deal collapsed.
United were on the hunt for a wide attacker in the summer to bolster Erik ten Hag's options but the club eventually splashed out £80million to snag Antony from Ajax. However, the club may be forced to add yet more reinforcements in forward areas in January after Cristiano Ronaldo's contract was mutually terminated last week in the aftermath of his explosive interview.
