Manchester United will face stiff competition from bitter rivals Liverpool for the signing of PSV Eindhoven striker Cody Gakpo.

The Red Devils have been widely tipped as Gakpo’s next destination when he inevitably leaves the Dutch giants.

Erik ten Hag was already planning to sign this player. He has seen Cody Gakpo in Eredivisie during his time in Netherlands.

Nevertheless, the Dutch boss is said to have retained an interest in Gakpo, who he sees as a fitting component to his United rebuild.

According to The Mirror, United’s arch-rivals Liverpool have entered the race for the PSV goalscorer and view him as the missing piece to relaunching their bid to challenge Manchester City for top honours.

The Mirror reports, “Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing PSV winger Cody Gakpo – and the Dutch giants are willing to sell him to the Reds.”

“Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders has identified Gakpo as a possible signing. Lijnders has a big say in the club’s transfer policy and scouted Luis Diaz.”

“Gakpo is reportedly viewed as someone who can fill Mane’s void.”

As per The Mirror, Liverpool could look to sign Gakpo as early as January.

The Netherlands international has been in excellent form for PSV this season. The forward has scored 13 goals and 17 assists to his side in 23 games for Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side.
