Manchester United transfer target Cody Gakpo was banking on a move to Old Trafford up until as recently as last week, according to a report.

United were interested in the Dutch forward but never reached an agreement with PSV Eindhoven, instead settling for one forward through the door in the form of Brazil midfielder Antony, with Gakpo branding the attempted move 'rushed and last minute.'

Via soccernews.nl, Gakpo told PSV TV that the move faded 'completely last week before 'PSV came up with a good offer.'
