“Whatever the price” – Manchester United fans urge club to “replace Cristiano Ronaldo” with sensational £19,000 per week talent star
After Cody Gakpo’s game-winning effort against Senegal, Manchester United supporters pushed the team to recruit the Dutch forward.
In a sparse match, the 23-year-old scored the first goal as the Netherlands defeated Senegal 2-0.
In the 84th minute, Gakpo bravely directed a looping header past the charging Edouard Mendy to break the scoreless tie. Davy Klaassen then extended the Netherlands’ advantage in the last seconds by taking advantage of yet another Mendy blunder.
Following the game, Man Utd supporters urged their team to sign Gakpo, a player they had been linked to all summer.
“No matter the cost”
After Gakpo’s impressive performance against the Netherlands, Man Utd supporters encouraged their team to buy him.
Nasty00007, a Twitter user, suggested that Manchester United trade for Cody Gakpo as soon as possible in the January transfer window.
“Cody Gakpo has scored or assisted 33 goals in all competitions this season, making him the most productive player in Europe,” continued Unitedboxx. He must be acquired by Manchester United in January. Regardless of the cost!
As for signing Cody Gakpo, Manchester United must take any action, according to KumasiSarkodie.
“Manchester United needs to do everything to obtain Cody Gakpo this January,” TheBrandSavage continued.
Links to Man U
Man Utd’s pursuit of Gakpo reportedly gained momentum last week when a new report suggested the PSV forward would sign with Old Trafford in January.
According to 90min, PSV is willing to sell the 23-year-old player in January.
Man Utd will have to outbid a number of teams to capture the Netherlands star, but the Red Devils are still very keen in the player and have suggested a fee of roughly £40 million.
In Holland, Gakpo has had an outstanding start to the season with 14 goals and 14 assists.
