The 23 year old winger was approached by the Red Devils to be signed, but there was a problem, the team could not answer this player because of a failure on the part of the management, the team had a difficult start to the season, they lost the first two games of the season, one of them 4-0 at Brentford, so the team looked to sign him under pressure for this game, they were not an outstanding team.

The player who commented that his signing would help PSV's finances was not possible, the main problem was that Ajax, the rival team, sold the 22 year old Brazilian right winger Antony, who was so expensive that there was no budget for them to sign Cody Gakpo, an attacking player that Manchester United have been looking to sign.

Antony was almost three times more expensive than what they were going to pay PSV for Gakpo, who were going to ask £30 million or so to let him leave the club, which had financial problems to solve and would be willing to let the 23-year-old leave for Old Trafford for that amount, in the end the negotiations were over and the interest in this player was pending, they knew he was a viable option for the team to make an effort to sign him.

PSV officials turned down an offer this summer from Leeds United, where they offered €30 million and €11 million in additional fees. The club denied the transfer at the end of the summer, even telling ESPN that they intend to keep him in the team, that he will stay at the Dutch club in January, but that is where Manchester United could come in and take back the player they wanted to sign last summer, who has a great level of play.

They know that the player is encouraged by the interest of a great offensive player, where he has proven to be one of the best players who, is a player who trains every day to improve, he stays practicing at the end to feel better, they want to explore the possibility of being able to go over this player, signing him would be an essential part of Erik ten Hag's game system who would like to have him in the team, we will have to see how he reacts after PSV wants to increase what they ask for him.
