Speaking of the goal, Davy KLASSEN came up with a beautiful assist for the Dutch youngster. After receiving the ball, Gakpo preferred his left foot and shoot the ball straight into the top corner. The Ecuador goalkeeper had no chance to stop that as the Netherlands took a lead in the sixth minute only.

Thus, Gakpo managed to score his second goal in this tournament in two matches. In recent times, he has made headlines for his performance in his club, PSV Eindhoven. Even, big clubs like Manchester United got linked for a summer move in the last transfer window for this wonder kid. So, the Red Devils might keep an eye on Cody Gakpo and his performance in the World Cup as the January transfer window is approaching.

However, as per a recent report to a French outlet Media Foot, Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag might consider Gakpo as the priority signing for the January transfer window. In this season’s Eredivisie, Cody Gakpo has managed 13 goals and 17 assists in 24 matches so far for PSV Eindhoven. He can be a lethal option for United after Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure from the club.
