Cody Gakpo
. He praised the
Netherlands
international for staying focused despite rumors that he might be moving to another team.
During a busy transfer window, United has added Lisandro Martinez,
Christian Eriksen, Tyrell Malacia, and most recently, Casemiro. However, reports say that Erik ten Hag is looking to his home country to find a winger.
Antony of Ajax, who was left off the team that won 1-0 at Sparta Rotterdam on Sunday, and Gakpo of PSV are both said to be the targets. Gakpo scored 21 goals in 47 games for PSV in all competitions last season. If he joins United, he is expected to compete with Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho.
But Van Nistelrooy, who played for five years at Old Trafford and scored 95 Premier League goals, wants to keep the 23-year-old. "For a long time, there have been rumors. It's obvious we want to keep him, "Van Nistelrooy said.
"Since I've been working with him for eight weeks, I haven't seen him act any differently. For his age, that's a very nice thing to do." Rangers and PSV are playing for a spot in the Champions League. The first leg of the play-off was last week at Ibrox, where PSV earned a 2-2 draw.
