Manchester United fans urged the club to sign Netherlands forward Cody Gakpo after the Netherlands star’s match-winning performance against Senegal.
The 23-year-old scored the opening goal as the Netherlands edged past Senegal 2-0 in a tepid encounter.
Gakpo steered a brave glancing header past the onrushing Edouard Mendy to break the deadlock in the 84th minute. The Netherlands then doubled their lead deep in injury time through Davy Klaassen, who capitalised on another Mendy error.
