Cody Gakpo vs Antony Dos Santos: Who is Better?
SportsFila Compares Man Utd Targets Cody Gakpo vs Antony Dos Santos: Who is better?
Antony and Gakpo are both quick and dangerous wingers, but they have different characteristics. Antony is small, technical, and quick on the first few meters. Gakpo however is big and strong, and he needs room for his long-distance dribbles. Another difference: Antony is a real Brazilian showboat. On large podiums, he excels, in smaller matches he can be absent. Gakpo has better work ethic, intelligence, and is a natural leader than Antony Matheus dos Santos,
They will bring more one on one dribbles and assists , energy on both wings, opponent will have to defend against these two wingers
Antony is different. He is a left footed RW which MU desperately needs. Antony is a kind of player that will distract multiple players in the defense, so he could make space for other players like Bruno or Rashford.
Antony vs Cody Gakpo: Who is better and cost-effective?
Gakpo is cheaper than Antony, Cody is a motivated player and a guy who doesn’t make a fuss with leadership abilities and also has a higher G/A. But Antony is a left footed winger that Manchester United really needs, yet he costs 100m.
Tough choice, i’d personally pick Gakpo but i think it’s not the right time for him, he needs another year at PSV. Antony reminds me a lot of a young Hazard at Lille , Gapko would help transition the team into playing Ten Hag’s style more up front.
Antony is an inverted winger but he’s capable of playing in wide and stretching the space for other players to fill in. He needs to train his shooting better though, it’s still too weak and needs more intensity.
What will Cody Gakpo & Antony bring to Man utd?
They will bring some competition to Rashford and Sancho, and Elanga.
And they will have to progress their game very soon, or they will watch the games from the bench.
For the reported 100 million euros Ajax should genuinely wrap him up and send him off. Take advantage of United’s state of panic and milk every cent out of it, odds are they’ll never get a bid like that for Antony again. Alfred Schreuder urges Ajax to keep Antony as Harry Maguire is linked with a Chelsea move.
Cody Gakpo vs Antony Dos Santos: Who is Better?
Blessed with better dribbling skills, Antony is MORE capable of producing Magical moments anytime than Cody Gakpo.
He could enter the pitch in the 90th min and dribble past 2 defenders and put in a cross for cr7. Harry Maguire could be on his way out at Old Trafford aHaving Casemiro in might also be linked to Varane and Ronaldo. Casemiro will up the chemistry and help build a trio that contributes to a solid spine. On Maguire, it seems like one of the reasons Ten Hag backed him in pre-season and the first couple of games is to avoid a massive rupture in his confidence. Man Utd don’t have many center back options, and Maguire getting even worse would be an extended nightmare. Although, I think Ten Hag is realizing that there is little hope for Maguire in a Man Utd shirt. This comes back to Casemiro, who might help Varane regain his Real Madrid form.s the defender is linked with a move to Chelsea.
Erik ten Hag dreams to play Eredivisie stars Antony and Cody at Old Trafford
Trev G says he grows more concerned about Erik Ten Hag. “I’m getting the sense that he is a Manager who is hell bent on playing a specific type of football and only wants Dutch league players like Antony and Cody that play his style. Now, that’s not necessarily a bad thing in theory and I would venture to guess most Managers adhere to the same practice”, he explained.
Where is Cody Gakpo from?
Cody Gakpo was born in Eindhoven and raised in the district of Stratum, Netherlands. His father was born in Togo and has Ghanaian ancestry, while his mother is Dutch. In 2007, he moved to the youth academy of PSV Eindhoven, where he then progressed through all of the youth teams.
Is Cody Gakpo left footed or right footed?
Gakpo is the real definition a modern right-footed winger in that he is often deployed on the left but he likes to cut inside on his favoured right foot. Using his outstanding dribbling skills and electric speed, Cody Gakpo makes his way into a more central area to either get a shot away or try and set up a team-mate to score. How old is Gakpo? As of 2022, He is 23 years (Cody’s date of birth is on May 7, 1999)
Man City Pep Guardiola plays a specific style and has the resources and players to play how he wants to play, as does Klopp. But what’s concerning about Ten Hag is that he is so stuck on playing a certain way that with the players at his disposal, he may not get the best from them and in some instances put them in a position of failure.
Goalkeeper De Gea is the prime example. He’s not good with his feet. He’s over 30 has played for years and is a superior shot stopper. Trying and relying on him to make good decisions with his feet at this stage of his career isn’t prudent. But that’s an example of one concern with Ten Hag. The pursuit of the Dutch linked players is also concerning. It gives the impression he isn’t willing to work with other players. Again, SportsFila understands new Managers like to use players they are familiar with, but it’s the degree of dependency that is unsettling in my eyes. Time will tell if his methods will be successful; so let’s be patient with how he proceeds and see what happens. if United have the smallest chance to relieve themselves of the services of their current Captain, they should take it. We can’t emphasize enough how incompatible Captain Maguire is with my sense of past United standards. He doesn’t pass the eye test.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.
- Ten Hag Says Man United Are on Track
- Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United
- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
