Why Man Utd Target Cody Gakpo As Erik ten Hag’s Next Signing of the Summer
Netherlands Stars Cody Gakpo and De Jong Emerge as Erik ten Hag’s Next Signings of the Summer.
Gakpo, a 23-year-old Dutch international forward, is expected to cost around £35 million and Man United have registered their interest with his club PSV Eindhoven who are coached by their former striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy, the Telegraph noted.
Here is Why Man Utd Target Cody Gakpo As Erik ten Hag’s Next Signing of the Summer.
Gakpo is clearly well-known to United’s current manager, and former Ajax coach, Erik ten Hag and scored 21 goals last season and scored twice in the weekend win over FC Emmen. He is normally used as a left winger but is tall and can play as a central striker and is represented by SEG who also advise coach Ten Hag.
Dutch football expert, Marcel Van Der Kraan, says Manchester United’s new target Cody Gakpo’s potential deal with Manchester United could depend on the club’s ongoing saga with Frenkie de Jong and Barcelona. Cody Gakpo has been voted Dutch national player of the year. Van Der Kraan added that Gapko is the type of player that Erik ten Hag likes, as Ten Hag likes to play with winger.
Relating transaction such that one depends on one is the sole reason why they continue to miss out. Why should signing this PSV player depend on FDJ’s deal? Utd should move on from this FDJ because Chelsea stand more chance.
Why ten hag wants Cody Gakpo at Manchester United
Ten hag could turn him into Man Utd next no.9. He has the qualities for it. We don’t know why he’s playing left wing, makes no sense. Cody Gakpo is strong, I rarely seen him get bullied off the ball. He’ll be very good for hold up play up front. He’s tall so he’ll win a lot of headers. And he can shoot like a beast. Like old days rashford with good power. His finishing is quite decent. Better than expected and much better than rashford. Has good pace. He’ll be a good signing. ten hag go get him.

The frenkie deal is dragging like it did with sancho. And the difference is de jong wants to stay. No point going for someone who doesn’t whole heartedly want to come. Dangerous combination that.
It’s obvious he doesn’t want to join so just leave him and focus on signing gakpo who is a promising young talent who is 6ft 2, strong, fast and great shot power.
The problem wih ten hag signing Eredivisie league players
Perhaps, United and Ten hag shouldn’t be targeting so many players from eredivisie. It’s a big step up going to the premier league and while some players may be a success, others will flop. Heck, look at Ziyech as an example; he was awesome at Ajax and average at Chelsea or even van de beek who was quality with Ajax and then struggled to get a game for six months at United. Shouldn’t they try to sign some players from higher quality leagues?
It’s all great signing attacking players but attacking players can’t do anything without a solid midfield behind them. Priorities are a must and our midfield needs some serious attention first. Bruno and Eriksen are fine but this won’t solve the issue about players tracking back that can actually win 1 in 1 duels and dictate the play from the back.
ManU are dependening on De Jong as if he’s gonna fix all their problems. That team has deep rooted problems that wont be solved by one signing.
Preliminary talks have been held with agents although United have not yet decided whether to make a bid despite their hopes of signing Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong having all but ended as he indicates he does not want to join them.

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.

- 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
