The fee for Gakpo is ‘between €40-50m and the 23-year-old has been given permission by his club to travel to England for a medical ahead of completing the switch’. “The 23-year-old attacker will leave for England imminently where he will be subjected to the necessary formalities ahead of the completion of the transfer.” Liverpool have reportedly ‘signed’ Cody Gakpo ahead of Man Utd in a deal worth up to €50m ahead of the January transfer window.

Jesse Lingard has launched a scathing attack on Manchester United after leaving last summer.

And while Lingard initially said he would keep his opinions to himself, it appears he has had a change of heart. Solskjaer blocked Lingard from signing for the Hammers on a permanent deal, promising the attacking midfielder chances to earn his place within the team. The England international has accused Solskjaer of failing to give him chances in the first team after ignoring his efforts on the training ground and revealed he played through the pain barrier to keep himself in contention. I was training hard and I was sharp, I was ready to play them games. He failed to make a Premier League start in the final 18 months of Solskjaer's reign, having spent six months on loan at West Ham. He eventually signed for Nottingham Forest on a one-year contract and has enjoyed a regular run of football.

In the second part of his press conference, Ten Hag addresses Marcus Rashford, Dean Henderson, transfer plans and more.

“I see that it is a good sign and we are still fifth and we are aware that we have to score more goals. And the right one has to bring the quality to the team and not just and add to the squad. I have already said before that when you are satisfied, it brings you to laziness. I don’t want that and for me, good is not good enough, we have to do better and that counts also for the manager.” He scored three goals at the World Cup and you also have the potential to score those numbers of goals in the Premier League.” So, during that season and when the season comes to an end, we will make that decision. I leave that to others.” Because when I analyse the first 14 games and Europe, so 20 games, we have a lot of problems in the front line. So, getting more control of the game, getting more dominant in the game and getting to a higher level in general.” I think when we get players available and better fit in the frontline, then already we will score more goals.” Or players were not 100 percent fit and we had to play them and that was a problem during the first 20 games this season. Or is it something that if you don’t solve could kill your hopes of top four and winning a trophy?
