‘i will love to play for Man United’ – Amorim ‘Green Lights’ Man Utd Move to Sign 24-Year-Old Lille ‘Magician’ who wants Old Trafford return

According to CaughtOffside, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has approved Angel Gomes’ return to Old Trafford as a midfielder for Lille.

The 24-year-old has made a big impression since leaving United as a young player in 2020, and the Portuguese boss is reportedly confident that he could be a great addition to his team.

However, the source claims that the Red Devils would probably have to contend with competition for Gomes from Premier League rivals next season, as teams like Arsenal and Chelsea are keeping an eye on him.

Despite the growing interest from elsewhere, Gomes is said to favour a return to Old Trafford and is reportedly seeking a three-year contract with an option for a further year to secure the move.

The 24-year-old is out of contract at Lille at the end of the season, meaning Man United could potentially strike a pre-contract agreement for him as early as January.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Gomes has scored once and provided one assist in 10 Ligue 1 appearances for Lille this season, while also managing three goal-creating actions.

Gomes joined Man United’s youth ranks in 2006 at just six years old and progressed swiftly through the Red Devils’ academy, but had limited first-team opportunities.

After being handed his professional debut by Jose Mourinho on the final day of the 2016/17 season, he made only nine further senior appearances across all competitions before departing to Lille on a free transfer in 2020.

In recent seasons in France, the ‘magician’ 24-year-old has established himself as one of the most creative midfielders in Ligue 1, helping Lille finish fourth last season and secure their return to the Champions League for the first time in three years.

According to recent reports, Amorim is not expected to make any major signings for his Man United squad in January.

The Red Devils’ hierarchy reportedly have no plans to overhaul the current first-team squad in early 2025, believing the current players are ‘capable of delivering far more’.
