Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag could look to bolster his Old Trafford squad by landing Antony and Cody Gakpo ahead of the fast-approaching transfer deadline, according to Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth. The Red Devils have not been afraid to splash the cash since the summer window opened for business, having forked out close to £130million, but further reinforcements may be drafted in ahead of Thursday’s 11pm cut-off point.
Sheth has revealed that Manchester United are still interested in PSV Eindhoven winger Gakpo despite ongoing talks over 22-year-old Ajax star Antony.
The Red Devils have been frustrated in their attempts to land Antony and a proposal worth £76.3million was rejected earlier this week.
However, Manchester United could be on the cusp of making a breakthrough as they are reportedly close to agreeing a deal worth £84.8million, including add-ons, and the move is expected to accelerate within the next 48 hours.
