Cody Gakpo addresses potential Man United move and clarifies double transfer with Antony

PSV Eindhoven winger Cody Gakpo has addressed his future and a possible move to Manchester United, as well as Antony's impending move to Old Trafford.

The Eredivisie side faced Excelsior in the league on Sunday afternoon. Gakpo scored once and grabbed two assists in a 6-1 win for the Dutch giants.

After the game, he was asked about his future, with the transfer window closing in a matter of days.

Gakpo is expecting that period to be busy for himself as he decides whether to stay in the Netherlands or move for an opportunity elsewhere.

Most importantly, he wants to assess the situation and determine which move would be best for his career going forward.

"It's going to be hectic, I think," the 23-year-old told ESPN. "There is interest, but I have always said that the whole picture has to be right,

"It's a puzzle. I have to see which puzzle is the most correct."

One of the clubs that are interested in the services of the young winger is Erik ten Hag's Manchester United.

The Reds are closing in on a €100 million move for Ajax's Antony and ideally would like to strengthen their forward line even more.

The Dutchman admits that Old Trafford is a destination that he could very well head towards, but also stresses that there are other possibilities.

"But there are also other options. United is a serious option. I can hear it all."

He also says that it is hard to not pay attention to the circumstances.

"I try to shut myself off from it, but it's difficult."

With Antony close to his United move, reports have said that a move for Gakpo looks less likely for Ten Hag's men.

Buying Antony at such a high price, following Casemiro's £60 million move from Real Madrid, could limit United in other bids to bring new players into the club.

However, Gakpo was frank when he explained the Brazilian's prospective move has no influence on whether he will, or will not, be a Manchester United player come September 2.

"No, that doesn't matter to me. Nice for him, anyway," he said.

The transfer window closes at 23:00 BST on September 1.
