Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia is under no illusions about Cody Gakpo's quality, with United set to miss out on the Dutch international.
Malacia opened up about his compatriot during the World Cup as Gakpo top-scored for the Netherlands in their run to the quarter-finals. The PSV frontman netted in each of his country's group-stage games against Senegal, Ecuador and Qatar, before Louis van Gaal's side fell to eventual champions Argentina at the quarter-final stage.
At the time, it looked as though United could renew their interest in Gakpo after a summer move failed to materialise. Instead, though, Liverpool have stolen a march on their rivals and agreed terms with PSV over what would be a record sale for the Dutch club.
