Erik ten Hag wants him to replace Ronaldo, other teams already interested

The Red Devils have been a team that wants to win the highest accolades where it matters, the club is an extension of what Erik ten Hag is looking for, he wants to win the games that will validate his project, the coach has taken advantage of the support he has had from the club's board, they have signed £225 million worth of six players, they were essential pieces for Erik ten Hag.

The manager wanted to continue signing, but after the defeat against Brentford 4-0, it was a red flag in the second game of the season, that's when the team acted under pressure to make a last minute move, they had to sign in a hurry and two teams took advantage of that, Ajax asked for almost €100 million for Antony, and Real Madrid managed to get €70 million for Casemiro.

Both signings came out very high, the club had not considered spending so much on two signings, but the pressure to reverse the season that began with two consecutive defeats was the cause that they took that action, now they have the consequences that the club spent more money than they thought, and thanks to that situation they could not sign a player they had in their sights, this player they wanted to sign at the same time as Antony.

PSV attacker Cody Gakpo, who is a player that the Dutchman is so keen on that it has even been leaked that they are still looking for him, the player is still on the Red Devils' radar. Gakpo had stated that his move to Manchester United would help his team, it would be special for a PSV player to come to the Red Devils, he is waiting for the board to commit to a deal for the 23-year-old Dutch player.

It would be difficult for the Red Devils to miss out on this signing, this player is the desire of Erik ten Hag, who knows his potential, they want him to make up for the possible absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, plus he can play on the wings and that would put pressure on all offensive players. He has a great performance at the beginning of the season, in 20 games he has 13 goals and 13 assists, a very complete offensive player.
