PSV Eindhoven director Marcel Brands has admitted Cody Gakpo had an unsettled start to the season after speaking with Manchester United over a potential switch.
The Reds had circled the 23-year-old as a possible transfer target as Erik ten Hag searched for an attacking reinforcement before landing Antony in an £85.1m deal. Since then, Gakpo has kicked on and has been in scintillating form for PSV.
The Netherlands international has scored nine goals in 12 games including seven in six Eredivisie outings. As a result, he has earned another call-up to the Dutch national squad for this month’s Nations League fixtures.
