Man United Poised to Rescue Angel Gomes from Transfer Struggles
Angel Gomes is facing uncertain times at Marseille, with the club advising him to seek a new team this January. This situation comes as Manchester United’s interim head coach, Michael Carrick, looks to bolster his squad, particularly in midfield.
Manchester United’s Midfield Dilemma
United has made midfield reinforcements a priority since the previous summer. Several names have been mentioned as potential targets, including:
- Ruben Neves
- Joao Gomes
- Ruben Loftus-Cheek
- Wilfred Ndidi
The team is likely to implement a 4-2-3-1 formation for the rest of the season. There is a strong desire for a new signing to join the ranks.
Current Players and Transfer Window Dynamics
In a recent match, Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro featured prominently in a 2-0 victory over Manchester City. Manuel Ugarte also made an appearance off the bench. While Mainoo is expected to stay at United despite Napoli’s interest, Ugarte may be loaned out to Ajax.
United is cautious in the January transfer market, prepared to act only if an ideal opportunity arises at the right price. Gomes, having previously played for United, might fit this profile perfectly.
Angel Gomes’s Status at Marseille
After joining Marseille in the summer following his exit from Lille, Gomes has struggled for game time, managing only 20 appearances this season. Recent reports indicate he has lost his position in the squad under coach Roberto De Zerbi. Marseille is close to signing new players, potentially complicating Gomes’s future.
According to sources, the club has set a deadline of February 2 for Gomes to find a new club. This development adds urgency to his situation.
A Potential Return to Manchester United
Gomes made his Manchester United debut in a match against Crystal Palace in 2018, receiving significant support from then-teammate Michael Carrick. Carrick, who is now the interim head coach at United, has expressed admiration for Gomes and his potential.
The possibility of Gomes returning to United could provide him with a fresh start, especially given Carrick’s familiarity with his skills and talents.
As the transfer window progresses, all eyes will be on whether Gomes can secure a move back to Manchester United and address his current struggles at Marseille.
