If you think the news that Man United are planning a 43 million swoop for Gakpo in January is a bit of a red herring, then think again. In addition to United’s interest in signing Pulisic, the paper suggests that Gakpo isn’t the only big name that is on their shopping list. They’ve also been linked with Memphis Depay.
United are’showing interest’ in signing Pulisic
The latest big name to get linked with a move to Manchester United is Christian Pulisic. The American is a key figure in the United Men’s National Team’s qualification for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, and is also enjoying a bit-part role at Chelsea.
Pulisic has scored 21 goals for the USMNT. However, he has not started any matches for Chelsea this season.
The 25-year-old has made 51 appearances for the national team, and he is currently on loan at Bundesliga side RB Leipzig. The player is reportedly a good backup option for Chelsea, but he may not be keen on joining a rival club.
The player has not started a single match for Chelsea this season, but has played 30 minutes in both games. He has also played three matches in the Premier League this season.
United are’undecided’ as to where that leaves Gakpo
Gakpo has caught the attention of many in the football world with his youthful, energetic and impressive game. Having played as a winger for club and country, he has impressed at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, scoring three goals in five matches.
His impressive goal record for PSV has led to an increased value and his fanciful transfer to Manchester United has become a real possibility. Although the Dutch side have already made a demand for EUR60m, there is a possibility that United could pay the required amount and get Gakpo in January.
During his time with PSV, Gakpo has netted 13 times in 24 appearances. He has also played in the Netherlands national team, scoring three goals in five games. He has also featured for the UEFA Champions League, netting twice. His performance for the Netherlands at the World Cup has been equally impressive.
United’s doubts about Gakpo are a warning sign
There has been plenty of speculation about whether Manchester United will be able to land Cody Gakpo in the coming weeks. The PSV forward has been in great form this season, scoring three goals in four games and assisting seven more. This has led to his becoming a target for several clubs.
In the summer, there were reports that Manchester United had held talks with PSV. However, it appears that the Dutch side is not interested in selling. Instead, they have a demand for a big fee.
As for Man Utd, there are a few reasons to be cautious when it comes to signing Gakpo. First, Louis van Gaal has not been keen on playing with wingers. As a result, there is a risk that he might end up being lost in the system.

United have moved on to other targets like Gakpo and Memphis Depay
Manchester United have made moves to sign strikers in the summer. But they have also flirted with other targets, like Cody Gakpo and Memphis Depay.
Gakpo has been an impressive player for PSV Eindhoven this season. He has scored nine goals in the domestic season, and has also starred for the Netherlands at the World Cup. The 22-year-old has also impressed in the group stage of the Europa League.
He was expected to be a major signing for Manchester United, but the club opted to go with Antony Martinez instead. They are now reportedly interested in signing Memphis Depay. This would be a more affordable move than trying to sign Gakpo. However, it is worth noting that this could be a shock move for the Red Devils.
United have agreed PS85m and PS57m deals with Ajax for Antony and Lisandro Martinez
Man Utd have made a PS85m deal for Ajax’s right winger Antony and the Argentinian’s brother Lisandro. The pair were tipped to make the move after the Dutch club rejected a number of high profile bids. They are expected to join fellow Argentinian Alejandro Garnacho at Old Trafford.
The transfer is the latest in a series of moves that have seen United sign Tyrell Malacia and Phil Jones, while a number of other fringe players have been linked to the club. The club are also reportedly in talks with Villarreal over a possible Pau Torres switch.
Ajax have a wealth of assets at their disposal, and a number of their best players are looking to make big money from them. The Dutch giants have already sold Ryan Gravenberch to Bayern Munich and Sebastien Haller to Dortmund. They have also raised funds through the sales of other first team players. They are looking to make a substantial profit on the likes of Lisandro and Antony.
