According to reports, personal terms have already been agreed upon between Manchester United and PSV superstar Cody Gakpo. This could signal a rekindling of United's interest in Gakpo.

Gakpo, who is currently 23 years old, was a player that Manchester United considered signing during a significant portion of the transfer window that saw the Red Devils spend more than £200 million on six first-team players. In light of the fact that this team is coming off their worst ever Premier League season, Erik ten Hag had made it abundantly clear that he would be prioritizing his options going forward.

When it became clear that Cristiano Ronaldo was trying to get out of his contract during the summer, the urgency for attacking reinforcements only increased. Ronaldo and his agent Jorge Mendes made it abundantly clear to the higher-ups at Manchester United that they would like a move to be considered for the player in the event that a Champions League club expressed interest in signing him.

This scenario continued right up until the transfer window closed, but in the end, the veteran Portuguese forward decided to remain with Manchester United and play for them. However, United is currently evaluating their alternatives to replace him in light of the fact that they have the option to sever their ties at the conclusion of this season.

Forbes says that despite the fact that their plans to sign Gakpo during the most recent window have been scrapped, the team still has him firmly on their list of potential replacements. United executives still had faith that they could sign one of Antony's competitors from the Eredivisie, despite the fact that they had approved his transfer. However, once the price for Antony reached the heights of £85 million, a concession was made that a double move was no longer an option.

The Premier League showed a significant amount of interest in Gakpo, and in the waning minutes of the transfer window, bids from Leeds United and Southampton were successful. Gakpo has admitted that he had expected to make the move to Manchester, only to see United's interest fade when it came down to the wire. A move to Elland Road had appeared to be firmly on the cards until the player himself opted to remain in Eindhoven. Gakpo has also admitted that he had expected to make the move to Elland Road.

Gakpo said at the end of the window, "At the beginning of the window, United registered their interest but not very strongly so I was waiting for a bit, and then the end was approaching and the signals became more positive." "At the beginning of the window, United registered their interest but not very strongly so I was waiting for a bit," Gakpo said.

"I started to consider the possibility that it might turn out that way in the end. The interest petered out the previous week, and as a result, throughout the entire window, I worked toward that goal; however, it eventually petered out. The following week, as I was watching, I found myself wondering, "What is the appropriate action to take?"

However, the winger has not allowed rumors of a transfer to affect his performance in the least bit, as he already has 10 goals and nine assists through 13 games played this season. That indicates that United is still interested in being observers, and Forbes has revealed that they do not anticipate any problems should they decide to rekindle their efforts. In addition, they imply that Ten Hag's charges went as far as reaching an agreement with the player on personal terms before making a U-turn.

PSV has also disclosed that they have reached an agreement with Gakpo and his representatives that will permit him to leave in 2023, provided that a suitable offer is presented to him at that time.

Marcel Brands, CEO of the club, provided the following explanation: "We did make it clear that we would have to part ways with the property if a certain offer was made. This is true not only from a monetary standpoint, but also due to the fact that agreements had been reached with the Gakpo camp prior to my time."
