Earlier this month, it was reported that Gomes’s agent Jorge Mendes promised him to Manchester United if Mourinho takes over. The Portuguese manager has now been officially confirmed as the new Manchester United manager.
Now the Portuguese media (via SportWitness) are claiming that Gomes is set to complete a transfer to Manchester United, who are ‘well positioned’ to seal the deal.
Gomes has been one of the best young central midfielders in Europe this year and would be a quality addition to any club. The player was also linked with a move to Juventus. However, Manchester United have the financial muscle and the influence to beat the Italian champions to any signing.
