The Mirror report that it has been claimed De Telegraaf football writer Valentijn Driessen found Netherland’s manager Louis van Gaal’s mobile phone in a hotel toilet, where he discovered that the former Man United boss had two missed calls from a caller ID that said ‘Manchester United’.
Driessen immediately returned the phone to Van Gaal, with it alleged the Dutch coach was less than impressed that the journalist found it.
This is being seen as the Premier League club stepping up their pursuit of PSV forward Cody Gakpo, who United are being heavily linked with.
Of course, Manchester United left-back Tyrell Malacia also plays for the Netherlands, but it does seem more likely that the Red Devils would be more interested in reaching out to Gakpo at this point.
According to talkSPORT, Man United are reportedly eyeing up a £50m move in January for the 23-year-old, who is currently shining at the World Cup.
As well as his fine form for his country, Gakpo has starred at club level this season. He has scored 13 goals and provided 17 assists in just 24 games in all competitions for PSV.
