This weekend, all eyes will be on the new Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, as he takes charge of his first game. It's an exciting time for the club, and Amorim has wasted no time in making his mark on the team. In fact, he has already given the green light to United's transfer plan, which includes a potential re-signing of Angel Gomes on a free transfer next summer. This move shows that Amorim is not afraid to take bold steps in shaping the team according to his vision.
The Red Devils will be facing Ipswich Town at Portman Road, and Amorim will undoubtedly be feeling the pressure to secure a win in his debut game. He has inherited a talented squad from his predecessor, Erik ten Hag, but has also been warned that he will have to work with a limited transfer budget. This has led United's transfer chiefs, Dan Ashworth and Jason Wilcox, to seek out potential bargains in the market. And they believe that Gomes, with his skills and potential, is the ideal candidate to breathe new life into United's midfield.
According to The Sun, Amorim has been a long-time admirer of Gomes, who has been making a name for himself at Lille and even earned a call-up to the senior England national team. Gomes also had a successful loan spell at Boavista in Portugal, where he caught the eye of his potential new boss. In fact, just last month, Gomes himself expressed his sentimental attachment to United and said it would be difficult for him to say no to a return to his boyhood club.
It's a well-known fact that Gomes was a regular part of the England senior squad under Lee Carsley, and he made his senior debut for Manchester United seven years ago. However, despite being tipped for a bright future at Old Trafford, Gomes shocked everyone by leaving the club. This decision was not taken lightly by the young talent, who had joined United at the tender age of six. But Gomes was determined to better himself as both a player and a person, and he believed that a move away from United was the best way to achieve that.
In May 2017, Gomes made his first-team debut for United, coming on as a substitute for Wayne Rooney in a match against Crystal Palace. This made him the youngest player to represent the Red Devils since the legendary Duncan Edwards. However, Gomes only made nine more appearances for the team before making the move to Ligue 1 side Lille four years ago. In a recent interview, he explained that leaving United was a difficult decision, but he knew it was necessary for his personal growth and development as a player.
Looking back on his journey, Gomes acknowledges that it has been a challenging one, with many ups and downs. But he is now in a position where he can see how all the struggles were worth it, as he continues to chase his dreams and make a name for himself in the football world. And with Amorim now at the helm of Manchester United, who knows what the future holds for both Gomes and the club. One thing is for sure, it will be an exciting ride to watch.
