Southampton are determined to sign PSV Eindhoven star Cody Gakpo with Manchester United no longer pursuing the Dutchman.
Gakpo has been linked to United all summer and said on Monday that a switch to Old Trafford remains a 'serious option'.
But Sportsmail understands United are no longer pursuing the winger as they progress an £84million deal for Ajax's Antony, opening the door for other Premier League sides, including Southampton Everton, Fulham, Leeds, Nottingham Forest, and Arsenal to express interest.
Gakpo's stock elevated last season as he picked up an incredible 12 assists.
