Former Manchester United academy graduate Angel Gomes has once again found himself linked with a return to Old Trafford, as his contract with Lille nears its end. The 24-year-old midfielder's impressive performances for both club and country have caught the eye of several Premier League clubs, including his former side.
Gomes left United in 2020 after failing to agree terms on a new deal, opting for a fresh start in France. Since then, he has established himself as a key player for Lille, showcasing his technical ability, vision, and creativity. His recent call-ups to the England squad have only served to increase his profile and attract interest from top clubs across Europe.
With Gomes' contract set to expire in the summer of 2025, the prospect of a free transfer has put many clubs on alert. Manchester United, in particular, have been closely monitoring his situation, and it's believed that manager Erik ten Hag is a big admirer of the young midfielder.
A return to Old Trafford would undoubtedly be a popular move among United fans. Gomes' attacking flair and ability to play in a variety of positions would make him a valuable asset to the squad. Moreover, the fact that he is already familiar with the club and its culture could help him to settle in quickly.
However, United will face stiff competition for Gomes' signature. West Ham United have been linked with a move for the midfielder, and it is believed that they have held talks with his representatives. Tottenham Hotspur have also been mentioned as potential suitors.
With so many clubs interested, it remains to be seen whether United can convince Gomes to return to Old Trafford. The club's financial situation may also play a role in any negotiations, as they will need to balance their desire to strengthen the squad with the need to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.
The coming months will be crucial for Gomes' future. With his contract set to expire in less than a year, he will have a number of options to choose from. Whether he decides to stay at Lille, return to England, or move to another league altogether, it is clear that he is one of the most sought-after young players in European football.
For Manchester United fans, the prospect of seeing Gomes back in a red shirt is undoubtedly exciting. The midfielder has the potential to become a real star, and his return would be a statement of intent from the club. However, it remains to be seen whether a deal can be struck.
