Gakpo confirms Man Utd interest, but PSV forward trying to shut out the noise

Cody Gakpo has claimed Manchester United are a serious option as the transfer window draws to a close.

The window shuts on Thursday, with United set to be one of the busier clubs.

Erik ten Hag s side are reportedly closing in on the signing of Ajax forward Antony, which could see them splash out £85million (€100m) on the 22-year-old.

Gakpo has also been mentioned as a target, with the winger – who plays for Ajax s rivals PSV – possessing a similar style to Antony.

On Sunday, Gakpo provided a timely reminder of his quality with two assists and a goal in a 6-1 rout of Excelsior, and subsequently suggested United are still interested in his services.

The 23-year-old also claimed United are one of several options, though he is not averse to staying at PSV.

There are also other options, United are a serious option, he told ESPN. I can hear it all. I try to shut myself off from it, but it s difficult.

It s going to be hectic, I think. I can t say anything about it at the moment. As I said before, the whole picture has to be right. It is a puzzle and in the coming days I will see which puzzle fits best.

For me it is certainly not a punishment to stay at PSV. I ll hear about it all in the coming days.

Asked if he had any thoughts on Antony s potential switch to United, Gakpo said: It s nice for him, but it has no influence on me.
