According to Caught Offside, Manchester United are understood to still ponder a move for former midfielder Angel Gomes. The England international is set to be available on a Bosman move once he leaves LOSC Lille, as the Red Devils ponder stealing a march on Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
Angel Gomes could be a high-profile free agent in the market as many teams could ponder making a move for the LOSC Lille midfielder. The England international has snubbed efforts from the French side to renew his stay, with a move to the Premier League looking likely ahead of the summer.
There have been a lot of clubs in the mix, with Crystal Palace and Everton considering moves. There’s also some interest from Serie A, but Gomes might consider moving back to England where he was on the books of Manchester United as a youngster until 2020.
He has excelled during his time at LOSC Lille, but amid all the interest coming from England, a move could be on the cards. Tottenham were seen as the front runners for the 24-year-old Ligue 1 midfielder, as the north Londoners want to add the free agent to their squad.
Reports have stated that Gomes is very close to joining Spurs, although that could change in the coming period as Manchester United contemplate a re-entry into the chase. The Red Devils had cooled their interest in the 24-year-old Ligue 1 midfielder a while back, but now they are sensing a new opportunity.
Given the history between Gomes and Manchester United, one might assume the Red Devils could jump in front of the queue for the 24-year-old Ligue 1 midfielder. Tottenham might have done massive groundwork in the background, but the Red Devils could potentially steal a march on the free agent.
Whether a move to Manchester United will suit Gomes is a question for the player, as the other interested clubs could somewhat guarantee a key place in their squads. Tottenham could see the midfielder integrating into their plans, although the lure of making a return to Old Trafford might trump every other approach from Gomes’ perspective.
