Rio Ferdinand has slammed the Glazer family for passing on a deal to sign Cody Gakpo in the summer - just months after he branded them as "disrespectful" following Manchester United's abysmal start to the season.
Gakpo was on Erik ten Hag's radar following his arrival at Old Trafford in the summer and was believed to be available for a sum of around £30million. United instead pressed ahead with a deal worth an estimated £85.5m to bring Brazilian winger Antony to the club; although it has since been revealed that the club have retained an interest in Gakpo.
The PSV Eindhoven star has been one of the stars of the World Cup, plundering three goals in as many games for the Netherlands. And Ferdinand has now bemoaned the fact that United are now likely to end up paying a premium price for Gakpo if they do decide to rekindle their interest in the coveted 23-year-old.
