Dutch star Cody Gakpo has admitted he is ready to consider a possible move, although he denied having spoken to Manchester United.
The 23-year-old has been a star at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, scoring three goals and helping Louis van Gaal’s side reach the quarterfinals, where they will face Argentina on Friday.
The Red Devils, among many other clubs, were linked with a move for Gakpo in the summer, but no deals materialized.

The PSV striker is off to a strong start this campaign, scoring 13 goals and 17 assists in all competitions, which has tipped clubs off yet again, nine of those goals coming in the Eredivisie.
His World Cup performances are also drawing the attention of many, including United who may be interested in bringing on a striker after releasing Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, Gakpo hinted that he would be interested in a move to Old Trafford, when he was interviewed ahead of the Netherlands’ quarter-final clash with Argentina.

“That was a difficult period,” Gakpo said. The Dutch newspaper NRC. ‘I learned from that. I’m going to do it differently. What comes, that comes.
‘Suppose you want to go from RKC (Waalwijk) to PSV, but that club doesn’t come. So you can panic.
‘I thought about Manchester United, but when that didn’t happen, I couldn’t remember. And I began to doubt. Leeds United arrived. Should I go there?

‘Now I wait for everything. I haven’t heard from Manchester United yet. When they come, I’ll think about it. I also seek God’s help in these decisions.’
Gakpo also shares an agent with United boss Erik ten Hag, which could play in the Premier League side’s favor, although they are expected to face competition for his signing once the January transfer window opens.
Both Leeds and Southampton made offers in the summer that were rejected by PSV, which has paid off for the Dutch side, who will now be able to claim a bigger figure.
