Gakpo ‘refused my advice’ to snub ‘dream club’ Man Utd despite Liverpool being ‘ten times smaller’PSV Eindhoven boss Ruud van Nistelrooy has revealed he advised Liverpool new boy Cody Gakpo to join the player’s “dream” club Manchester United.
After scoring nine goals and providing 12 assists in 14 Eredivisie matches this season, Gakpo has failed to register a single goal contribution in six starts across all competitions for Liverpool.He joined a team struggling for form and Saturday’s 3-0 loss at Wolves was another horrendous result for the Reds.
Van Nistelrooy also said that he wanted Gakpo to join United because “they are better than Liverpool”. Van Nistelrooy then revealed that Gakpo ignored his advice after being tempted by Liverpool defender and his Netherlands teammate, Virgil van Dijk.“Something happened and he refused my advice and listened to Virgil who tempted him to join his team. He told me he wanted to move abroad in January.”
“The fact is Liverpool is ten times smaller than Manchester United, in every department,” the former striker said.
