Angel Gomes has expressed a strong desire to return to Manchester United, viewing it as a significant long-term goal. The Manchester Evening News reports that Gomes, who is currently with Lille, left United in 2020 after progressing through their youth system.
Gomes, now 24, is under contract with Lille until June 2025. According to FIFA regulations, Manchester United could begin negotiations with him as early as January 2025, which opens up the possibility for a return if both parties are interested.
The Manchester Evening News also notes that Manchester United will be actively seeking a central midfielder during the winter transfer window. This is due to the expected departure of Christian Eriksen, who will be a free agent next summer, and concerns over Casemiro’s diminishing impact at the club.
With Gomes showing a keen interest in rejoining United, and the club’s need for midfield reinforcements, there could be a potential alignment of interests. The situation could unfold as United looks to address their midfield needs and Gomes aims to realize his ambition of returning to his former club.
