Manchester United will hold talks over a proposed move for No 1 transfer target Cody Gakpo in the coming days, with PSV set to demand £50m for the Holland star who continues to excel for his nation at the World Cup

Manchester United are to hold talks in the coming days over their proposed move for Holland international forward Cody Gakpo.

The departure of Cristiano Ronaldo has left United requiring another goalscorer and PSV Eindhoven's Gakpo is emerging as their number one target.

The 23-year old, who is expected to start for Holland against Argentina tomorrow, has scored three goals during the World Cup and has been utilised as a central striker by coach Louis van Gaal.

He was on United's list in the summer, and indeed they held tentative talks with PSV in August, but ultimately prioritised the £82million signing of winger Anthony from Ajax.
