Gakpo declared he thought he would join Man Utd

forward

claimed that he believed he would join

for most of the transfer window.

The Dutch attacker was one of the several attackers that Erik ten Hag was monitoring in transfers, but finally decided to attract Antony with 100 million euros. Gakpo was interested in several clubs in transfers and now he talked about his conditions during this time.

He said:

"It was hectic. Days, weeks, months...I'm glad it's over.

"It was difficult [to deal with] because it was my first time to decide between staying or going. You hope for immediate clarity at the start of the window so you can focus on PSV or your new club but that didn't come.

"At the start of the window, United registered their interest but not very strongly, so I was waiting for a bit, and then the end was approaching and the signals became more positive. I started thinking it could fall that way eventually.

"The interest faded last week, so the whole window I worked towards that and then it faded. So then I was watching last week, thinking 'what is the right thing to do?'.

"I feel at home here, in my own city. Everyone knows how I feel, but you have to look at all your options, but in the end I know I made the right choice."
