Former Manchester United academy star, Angel Gomes, has become a hot prospect over the last two years, becoming a regular starter for LOSC Lille.
The attacking midfielder left United back in 2020 on a free transfer having only made ten appearances for The Red Devils.
Upon his arrival at Lille, Gomes instantly went on loan to Boavista in Portugal, where he made 32 appearances with six goals and six assists, however, he couldn’t help the squad fight their way into the top half of the table.
Now though, back at Lille, the 24-year-old has registered eight goals and 18 assists in 118 games, with his performances lately stirring up interest from some top clubs and getting him an England call-up.
Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United have all been linked with Gomes recently, whose contract runs out next summer, with the player reportedly having not intention of extending his contract.
Lee Carsley has also been impressed by the star, including him in his England squad.
Carsley handed Gomes his England debut during the international break in the opening game against Ireland, being used as a substitute. However, after a brief but strong showing, the midfielder played the full match against Finland in their 2-0 win over the Scandinavian side.
Speaking about the midfielder, Carsley clearly had a lot of admiration for Gomes, saying: “He loves football, he watches football, he’s interested in tactics.”
He continued: “If you ask him for any feedback, you need to be prepared that he’s going to give you some feedback on the session, or how we’re going to build up, or the positions.
“He’ll often say about some build-ups he’s done with other clubs, or what he’s played against, because he’s obviously playing in France, so he sees different things.”
Now, some comments from an interview with L’Equipe have emerged, highlighting Gomes’ thoughts on re-joining United one day.
The midfielder said: “Do I imagine myself coming back one day? Obviously, it’s home,”
He continued: “I would love to come back. But you never know in football. I just have to keep my feet on the ground, and keep playing, making the most of it. I can’t predict what will happen in the future.”
