Manchester United going for Cody Gakpo, says reports
According to reports, Manchester United is prepared to sign Cody Gakpo, a Dutch starlet, for £35 million. All of this is taking place after Manchester’s £85 million offer to Ajax for Anthony was rejected. Cody Gakpo is currently playing for PSV Eindhoven and scored 21 goals for the club and country last season.
Cody Gakpo is also considered important this season after there were reports linking him with top English teams like Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, etc. Red Devils didn’t wait long to join the media trend and select Cody Gakpo as one of their transfer targets.
The primary target of the Red Devils was the Brazilian talisman Antony from Ajax. But the unexpected rejection from Ajax, even after offering a huge sum did hit them back hard and Cody Gakpo was their next option as the summer transfer windows are closing within a week.
Statistics also show that there is a high chance of Cody Gakpo accepting the offer and playing for the team this season. Fans and supporters await confirmation from the officials of both teams.

Antony or Cody Gakpo? Who may have been a better option for Manchester United?
Anthony has 8 goals and 4 assists in 23 matches played in Eredivise and Cody Gakpo has 12 goals and 13 assists in 27 matches. Cody Gakpo will definitely be a cheaper option for the team than Antony. Looking forward to more impressive matches by the players and their teams.
Antony is a player with more fan following and stardom. He also has a unique Brazilian Samba touch which makes him more appealing. But that does not prove anything about Cody Gakpo being a bad choice. He has also proved his potential in many games and hoping for many more with Manchester United.
