Angel Gomes hopes to return to Manchester United and play for Old Trafford.
Gomes, who was born in 2000, joined Manchester United in 2006 and became a young goalkeeper. Gomes has grown with a lot of expectations at Manchester United. He made his debut in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2016-2017 season, raising the possibility of entering the Manchester United first team.
Unfortunately, growth was slower than expected, and Gomes failed to establish himself as Manchester United's first team. United have decided not to re-sign Gomes. Manchester United and Gomes parted ways at the end of the 2019-2020 season, and Gomes signed with LOSC Lille.
In his first season, he moved to the Portuguese league and gained experience in the first team. Gomes, who also returned from Lille, gradually increased his playing time and succeeded in establishing himself as a main player from the 2022-2023 season. Gomes, who became a recognized player in French Ligue 1, was called up to the England national team for the first time this month and even made his dream debut for England.
When he was at United, Gomes was a 168-centimeter attacking midfielder. He was a player with good foot skills and was evaluated as having excellent kick skills, but his shortcomings were clear. The speed was not fast, and the physical limitations of the small size were not exceeded.
However, in Lille, Gomes began to be classified as a central midfielder. Gomes' strengths began to revive as he moved to a position that was relatively less checked compared to the offensive midfielder position. Gomes himself tries harder, and his physical shortcomings are no longer seriously revealed.
Gomes is known to be open to returning to Manchester United as his contract with Lille expires at the end of the 2024-2025 season. The British Manchester Evening News reported on the 13th (Korea time) 'Gomes is aiming to return to Manchester United in the long term. Man Utd will be able to bring Gomes at a bargain price if they act wisely in the January transfer window,' reports Man Utd.

It is true that Manchester United needs a versatile midfielder. At the end of this season, Christian Eriksen's contract with Manchester United ends. Casemiro is also constantly on the release list. It would be more helpful to add a player who can play as a rotation member like Gomes.
Manchester Evening News also reports 'Manchester United are keen to sign another central midfielder in the summer transfer window. Gomes's versatility in central, defensive and attacking midfielder positions will play a positive role in the club because it allows the team to prepare well for difficult schedules.
