Long-term planning is as important for a club of Manchester United’s stature as short-term success and it’s up to the likes of Dan Ashworth & co. to keep the wheels moving to ensure that the club keeps an eye out on potential future transfer targets.
There is a general bias in the Premier League where English talents not named Jude Bellingham playing outside of the country in foreign leagues are not recognized by the national team. Last month though, interim manager Lee Carsley changed that narrative.
Transfer – Coach ready to finally sign £43.4million star for Man Utd – Report
Thanks to him, Lille midfield star, Angel Gomes, has shot to the limelight and has since attracted the interest of top Premier League clubs.
As per Give Me Sport, Manchester United are among the clubs interested in signing the 24-year-old English international.
Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are the other clubs keeping an eye on the midfielder as he heads towards free agency. The Red Devils can reach a pre-contract agreement to sign Gomes for free next summer.
Man Utd have a distinct advantage in the race for Angel Gomes – at least, one would hope so. He was a part of the club’s academy and came through the ranks before leaving for Lille in search of regular minutes to continue his development.
Thus, the opportunity to come back to Old Trafford and continue his career where it all started might be enticing for the £597,000 a year star. It remains to be seen if Angel Gomes is tempted by the opportunity to return to Man Utd
With so much interest in him, it will be a surprise should Gomes sign a new contract with Lille. An opportunity to return to the Premier League could be enticing and let’s see if Man Utd make a move to sign him next season.
