  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Gakpo has admitted he came close to signing for Manchester United before joining Liverpool in January 2023. The forward has played 32 times in the Premier League this season, scoring six goals and contributing four assists for the Reds. However, the Dutchman has failed to score in his six last matches in a run of games that has seen Liverpool dumped out of the Europa League and lose ground in the Premier League title race.
