United could do with signing Antony or Gakpo this summer, with fans unlikely to be too picky about which one of them joins.

Antony has impressed at Ajax and Gakpo is a similarly exciting young player who has caught the eye in the Eredivisie – a league Ten Hag will know well from his time as Ajax manager.
