Speaking to the Times, Cody Gakpo said: “I was close to leaving, I spoke to Erik ten Hag a few times at Manchester United.
“In the end, the deal didn’t go through, which was a shame, for me and my development, because Man United is one of the biggest clubs in the world.
“But it was also a shame for PSV Eindhoven because to transfer a player to Man United is a good thing for the club.
“It ended a week before the end of the transfer window and I had to decide if I would go to Leeds or Southampton. I stayed, but it was a stressful period.”
