Manchester United has terminated the contract with Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo, and PSV Eindhoven striker Cody Gakpo is mentioned as a possible reinforcement of the club from Old Trafford.
The British “Daily Mail” writes that Gakpo was on Manchester United’s wish list this summer, but the English Premier League decided to bring the Brazilian Anthony from Ajax.
In the meantime, Leeds and Southampton sent offers for him, but he decided to stay in Holland and wait for offers from clubs playing in the Champions League.
Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal reportedly also advised him to stay in shape ahead of the World Cup in Qatar, where the Netherlands reached the quarter-finals, where they will play Argentina.
United coach Erik ten Hag and Gakpo have the same agents, which is why it is believed that the transfer could easily be realized.
This season, the Dutchman has scored 15 goals and assisted 18 of them in 29 club matches, while he has scored three goals so far at the World Cup.
