Gakpo has been heavily linked with a move to Man Utd since the summer transfer window as the PSV man speaks out once more..
PSV Eindhoven winger Cody Gakpo has said that “it would be an honour” to play for Manchester United as he speaks out over his future once again.
Erik ten Hag was keen on bringing Gakpo to Old Trafford during the summer transfer window, yet a deal failed to materialise ahead of the September 1 deadline. United’s pursuit of the Dutch forward came to an abrupt end due to the hefty fee that Ajax were demanding over Antony.

United and Ten Hag continue to be linked with a move for the 23-year-old, yet the Dutchman has been warned by the club’s football director John Murtough that a January transfer will be challenging to complete.

Speaking to Dutch outlet NOS (via GOAL ), he said: “I think at the end of this season I will be ready to take that step. I feel like I was already that way at the start of this season, but after this season I’m even more ready to take that next step.
“[On which clubs he would like to join] Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool. It would be an honour to play there, but I also have to see what kind of team would suit me best..
