Who are Cody Gakpo & Joao Palhinha?
Cody Gakpo is a player who has spent his entire career on the books of his hometown club, PSV.
The Eindhoven-native has featured on 121 occasions for PSV’s senior side. Across said games, he has scored 34 and assisted 31.
As for Joao Palhinha, he is a defensive midfielder who has made 86 appearances for current side, Sporting.
The 26-year-old has experience in Europe and would likely be a solid addition to a Manchester United side who are crying out for a new defensive midfielder.
Additionally, with Anthony Martial now at Sevilla and Mason Greenwood released from prison on bail, United do not have too many options out wide.
So, it would make sense for the club to be eyeing a winger and midfielder this summer – though fans would also no doubt like to see a striker signed, too.
