Cody Gakpo is on the verge of signing for Manchester United. Many reports have linked the red devils with the Dutch forward who has been immense for the Netherlands during the World cup as well as PSV Eindhoven and it seems that Erik Ten Hag is inevitably going to get his man. After being linked with Marcus Thuram, Youssoufa Moukoko, Dusan Vlahovic, and Joao Felix among others, Manchester United has identified Cody Gakpo as their ideal transfer target to fill Cristiano Ronaldo’s shoes.

Wow!!!!!
Awesome news
Love from Sierra Leone πΈπ±
Ma man back at it again…just dont persuade the opps to get him first ππ
Is that truth
We said exactly the same thing when signing Sancho based on goals and assists numbers but we are currently seeing something else from him
Nah Indonesian so happy with this news π
That smile of EtH when asked abt Gakpo πππ
The glazes are selling.. So realistically they won't do anything would they now?
Love from Zambia πΏπ²
I really like him, he's a great player. Big up bro
Well I hope we sign him he had a good world cup and plays great in the Eredivisie.
U done great job bro π
idk if u guys notice this but most of the young up & coming star players are dark skin. don't get me wrong it's not a bad thing but this just proved that darkskin people work harder to achieve their dream nowadays, others unfortunately being sunk down by today technology & entertainment.
Thank-you… β₯οΈ
We've lost Greenwood, Cavani & now Ronnie; Only replaced by Antony (& Garnacho promotion whose going to be naturally inconsistent)…. Martial continues to be an unreliable option due to his fitness…. We desperately need forward options AND a striker imo…
I am glad we didn't waste valuable time on Ramos. We need to buy smart
I love your analysis of players a lot
Bro pls talk about Enzo fernaandes
Gakpo always shots in the corner and not at the GK. He shoots hard and educated by RvN! Whats not to like.
They donβt have to get money as fast as possible, as long as it is before July 1st. They needed a big transfer to have a positive financial year but it doesnβt HAVE to be in the winter
Our Glory dayβs are coming soon GGMUβ€
The Gakpo signing is a very good signing. I think this guy can play in the 10, but I feel Ten Hag will use him in trequartista role as false 9.5 in a 433 or 4231 formation.
6'3 and deceptively quick, I feel he has other assets to his game that Ten Hag can develop, which would make him into one of the most feared forwards in the world.
I would respectfully disagree on one point you made about Martial that is not in his long term plans. I think Martial is a Ten Hag type of striker and so he will definitely feature more often than not.
At the moment, I see the starting front 3, with everyone fit and firing, as Rashford on the right of three (I found it odd that a right footed player could not play on the right side of the attack but I guess the Wales and Burnley games have changed all that..) Martial (If he can stay consistently fit he offers so much to our attack and style of play) and Gapko who drop into the half spaces on the right, left or centre of the forward line interchanging with Martial and Rashford.
Bruno Fernandes is the key figure in ensuring that the front three is clicking.
Antony will be pushing hard as will Sancho (my favourite player when he is at it) however they don't offer the same goal getting directness as Gakpo, Martial and Rashford.
And then there is Garnacho, who will, in the next 18 months, be seriously knocking on the door as a starter, in my humble opinion, if the progression takes the continued trajectory currently.
With effective new ownership (I do pray that this is so), exciting times are ahead for our club.
NO GAKPO! United has Rashford on the left. The team doesn't need a $60 million player to sit and watch Marcus.
Can they sell us sangare too?
I love the fact that Gakpo wants to join us. I'm sure ETH told him don't worry in the summer.
Wondering what you think about Joao Felix?
I disagree with your view on martials standing in the squad and with ETH. It's clear to me that martial is his number one option at CF, I say that considering the fact whenever he has a semblance of fitness ETH puts him straight back in the team. He has specific qualities that no other player in our squad has. Hopefully he can put the injuries behind him for the remainder of the season. When he's fit he's excellent!
Liverpool have signed cody gakpo, "here we go!" by Fabrizio romano! We lost the race to his signature. Sucks π
He will come to Manchester United at least twice a season.
Bro it's gone π₯
Hahahahaha! YNWA
Credible sources eh….
Dont get too much high expectations he certainly will join United, in the end joined liverpool instead
