Cody Gakpo creates 11 chances
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag held personal talks with Gakpo in the summer, the player told The Times last week.
United did not have the funds to push through a move for Gakpo in the end, in addition to Antony, but he remains an option for this coming January, Forbes reported last month.
Gakpo demonstrated his quality at the weekend for PSV Eindhoven even with the team slumping to a shock 4-2 away loss at Groningen.
The Netherlands international was a particular danger from set pieces, providing both assists for PSV’s goals, amid 11 chances he created.
He also hit the woodwork with a header, while winning 10 duels and winning five free-kicks.
Gakpo now has nine goals and nine assists in 11 Eredivisie matches this season. He has another four goals in other competitions.
Last season he scored a decisive goal to cost Ten Hag’s Ajax the KNVB Cup final, so the United boss is well aware of how dangerous he can be.
United need to add a forward in the January transfer window amid a lack of goals, and Cristiano Ronaldo’s uncertain future. Gakpo is one of the lead options, and his weekend performance was another timely reminder of his ability and potential.
