Huge Boost for Man United as Bargain England international with 12 G/A could return to Old Trafford
Huge Boost for Man United as Bargain England international with 12 G/A could return to Old Trafford
After playing a major role in 45 games for Lille the previous season, when he assisted on ten goals and scored two himself, the 24-year-old’s career has taken off in the past year.
Gomes’ contributions to the French team’s qualification for the 2024–25 Champions League were significant, and England temporary head coach Lee Carsley recognized this, giving the midfielder his Three Lions debut earlier this month.
After making two strong impressions in the Nations League against Finland and Ireland, the former Manchester United player has already drawn interest from other clubs due to his availability.
The 24-year-old’s contract with Lille expires in 2025, and The Telegraph reports that the Ligue 1 team is expecting bids in January.
Gomes will also be free to sign a pre-contract with other clubs from January 1, if he decides not to put pen to paper on a new deal at the Ligue 1 club.
Could Angel Gomes return to Man United?
Although The Telegraph’s report fails to mention interested clubs, Newcastle United, Tottenham and Man United are among the Premier League teams believed to be showing an interest in Gomes ahead of the 2025 transfer windows, states GIVEMESPORT.
It would be very interesting to see if the England star returns to Manchester after the midfielder came through United’s academy before making his first-team debut in 2017 – replacing Wayne Rooney in the 88th minute of a 2–0 home victory over Crystal Palace.
The 24-year-old left Old Trafford to join Lille in 2020 and the Ligue 1 star could be viewed as a replacement for Casemiro as this season is likely to be the Brazilian’s last with the Manchester club.
The race for Gomes’ signature will be very interesting as his free-agent status could see others throw their names into the hat.
