Manchester United are reportedly planning a bid for Cody Gakpo, with the player keen to work under Erik ten Hag.
The United manager recently confirmed the club’s intent to sign a new striker, even more so since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.
They have been linked with Gakpo since the summer after holding talks with the forward, however, a deal failed to materialise after United prioritised the signing of Antony from Ajax. Gakpo then later admitted it was a “shame” a transfer did not happen.
