Looking at Gakpo, I realized that Van Persie was right

November 29, 2022

The Dutch talent is expected to quickly develop into a world-class player.

"Gakpo  is a good player and is always looking for ways to influence the game. Whether it's an assist or a goal, he's always dangerous."

"Gakpo is not really a simple striker, he can play as a No. 10, a left winger, a virtual striker or drift to the right. Gakpo can play in four positions up front. He's got a good physique. Gakpo is strong, fast and can dribble, he's a complete player."

Bruno Fernandes is the first Manchester United player to have 30+ goal involvements in a Premier League season since Robin van Persie in 2012/13 - Football

Above are comments from Robin Van Persie about Cody Gakpo, one of the brightest attacking players in Europe at the moment. Up to this point, the star of PSV Eindhoven has scored 34 goals in just 28 appearances for club and national team, a performance that has forced Manchester United to restart their plans to recruit Gakpo, and at the same time. A number of other big teams have also participated in this deal.

Under the PSV shirt, Gakpo has played as a left winger throughout this season, so there are many views that he can only perform well in this role. But true to Van Persie's comments, through two performances at the 2022 World Cup, Gakpo has really proven himself to be a complete striker.

In the match against Senegal , Gakpo was basically arranged to play as an attacking midfielder, playing right behind two central strikers, Steven Bergwijn and Vincent Janssen. In the Ecuador draw, coach Louis Van Gaal arranged his student to play in a different role, more specifically as one of the two central strikers next to Bergwijn. And obviously, Gakpo has performed well in both of the last two matches.

In fact, the 23-year-old striker is not active in one area of ​​the field, he actively moves around in attack and has absolutely no problems in handling the ball in any position. At the same time, the two goals that Gakpo scored also spoke to the versatility of this striker, with an opportunity flash, accurate header and a powerful finish from the edge of the box.

In general, if Gakpo really arrives at Old Trafford, Ten Hag will surely have more options to arrange Man Utd's attack.
