TA analyzed the reason why Manchester United did not sign Gakpo: the budget was insufficient and he was not sure whether he could play as a center.

TA recently published an analysis of the reasons for Manchester United’s failure to sign Giacopo.
According to previous reports, it is certain that Gacopo will go to Liverpool. So why did Manchester United give up on Garkpo? One of the main reasons is that they can’t afford him this month, especially when there are some questions about whether he is fit to play as a center. Just last week, Tenhag and Manchester United’s signing staff, including Football Director Mottaf, were considering whether to pay 50 million euros, which they knew would be deducted from the summer budget.
It seems that before Mann Lenovo understands, Liverpool have made a decisive move to intercept Gakpo. But the source insists that Klop’s team is aware that they are not facing any competition. After weighing whether they could use the credit facilities again, Manchester United chose to be cautious.
It is not clear what this means about Manchester United’s future signings, although some people close to the club believe that if the Glazers cannot stay and pay the bill, they will approve the spending.
There is no doubt that Teng Hag likes Gakpo. He fought for the PSV Eindhoven striker in the summer transfer window, even though scouts were unsure whether he could play as a centre-forward in the Premiership. Tenhag is confident in the 23-year-old, Manchester United staff are satisfied with the coach’s ideas and personal terms have been agreed with the player.
But Ajax refused to compromise Carmelo Anthony’s sky-high transfer fee at the time, which meant that Manchester United had no extra money to operate the transfer of Gakpo.
