A move for PSV Eindhoven's Gakpo is in the works.
The boss of United, who shares the same agency as Gakpo, wants to sign the young man.
The Dutch has not been able to strengthen his front line yet despite the fact that he has already signed in defence.
With Anthony Martial currently injured, United are searching for more options up front.
They missed out on Benjamin Sesko and withdrew their interest in Marko Arnautovic.
United have spent a lot of the window trying to get Antony, but it has been known for a long time that Ajax plan to keep him and would expect just shy of 700m for that to happen.

The lack of quality options in the forward department has led to the emergence of Gakpo.
The Dutch player scored 21 goals in 47 games last season.
It is implausible for PSV to retain their star players if a financially strong club comes in.
The United have an agreement to sign a player.
The transfer is expected to go through despite the fact that personal terms need to be negotiated with his agent and mother.

Manchester United are interested in PSV'sCody Gakpo.
They have said they have other targets. This is a player that the manager knows and that will not surprise anyone.
Being in the PSV dugout might be helpful. PSV have had a public stance that they would like to keep their key players, but if a club comes in with a lot of money, they wouldn't be able to decline that.
He can play as a focal point if need be. Why didn't United try this earlier? Ten Hag is represented by the same people as he is.
PSV don't want to listen to any offers until they are certain of their position in the tournament."
It wouldn't have been as critical if this had been done at the beginning of the window.
