Manchester United Plans Free Transfer for Gomes

Manchester United is looking to re-sign former academy player Angel Gomes, 24, on a free transfer when his contract with Lille expires next summer. New head coach Ruben Amorim is a long-time admirer of Gomes and sees him as a key component of his plans moving forward. Gomes has expressed a sentimental attachment to United, mentioning that it would be 'difficult to say no' if they made an approach. Additionally, United is competing with Real Madrid for Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman and monitoring Paris Saint-Germain's Randal Kolo Muani, who is available for loan. The club aims to strengthen its squad as it navigates a challenging season, currently sitting 13th in the Premier League. Other clubs like Tottenham and Arsenal are also interested in Gomes, adding competition for his signature.
