Former Manchester United striker Robin van Persie has warned his old club that PSV Eindhoven star Cody Gakpo is not an "out-and-out striker" amid ongoing reports linking him with a move to M16.
The 23-year-old, who has started this season in devastating form, was close to joining United during the summer transfer window, recently admitting that he held talks with manager Erik ten Hag about a move to Old Trafford. The Reds were desperate to recruit a winger during the summer and Gakpo, along with Antony, was identified as a possible target.
The Netherlands international, who will have ambitions of starring at the World Cup next month, was outstanding last season, scoring 21 goals and grabbing 15 assists for PSV. He has started this term in equally impressive fashion, netting 13 goals and claiming 13 assists.
