With the calibre of the Manchester United academy, its no surprise that its graduates are making their way into top squads, with even rivals Liverpool, looking at the academy products.
Already Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho are cementing themselves as key players in the current United squad. The pair have gone so far with their breakthrough performances to get nominations to this year’s Golden Boy award.
Following in Mainoo’s footsteps, Toby Collyer is trying to break his way into the senior squad, with Erik ten Hag expecting great things of him.
However, Liverpool are one of four top tier clubs looking at a United graduate who has moved away from Old Trafford.
The Sun is now reporting that Liverpool, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur and Borussia Dortmund are all looking at formed Red Devil Angel Gomes.
The midfielder is currently playing for LOSC Lille in Ligue 1, however his contract runs out next summer with little intention from the star in renewing.
This means that Gomes could join one of these top clubs on a free transfer come January.
The former Red Devil hasn’t just been getting the attention of Liverpool and other clubs, but also interim England manager Lee Carsley.
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: “He knows all the players in any league.
“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.”
