Manchester United returned to winning ways on Sunday with their 2-1 victory over Everton as they got their season back on track, with the games now coming thick and fast for Erik ten Hag’s men.
But further good news has followed up that maximum points haul over the Toffees, with PSV Eindhoven forward Cody Gakpo now reportedly performing a transfer U-turn ahead of a move to Leeds United. However, Brentford have landed the Red Devils a blow over Ivan Toney, while Paul Scholes has responded to his “one trick pony” jibe on Antony.
Mirror Football takes a look at all the latest stories coming out of Old Trafford.
Cody Gakpo transfer U-turn puts Man Utd on red alert
