A few names have been linked with a move to Old Trafford, including Amadou Onana, Joao Neves and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, but Gomes is also reportedly on their radar.

Gomes to Manchester United
However, the journalist affirms that the possible arrival of the 'red devils' to this area will depend on the departures with casemiroThe futures of Scott McTominay and Christian Eriksen are uncertain at the moment.
Jacobs said:
“I think Joao Gomes is among the main targets of Manchester United's midfield. The first thing to say is that the midfield will depend, at least in that position of Casemiro, on his departure. There is strong Saudi interest.
“Christian Eriksen has already said that he is not happy with his playing time, so he is potentially also extroverted. We know there will be interest in Scott McTominay, but Manchester United value him. However, he has also been linked with a number of clubs over recent windows.
“So naturally, Manchester United will look to strengthen that midfield area if the departures allow them to create space in the squad, cap space and funds to do so.”
It has been suggested that wolves might accept a fee of around £40 million sell the Brazilian so Man Utd will have to spend a considerable amount of money to get his service.
The South American has shown signs of his qualities in the first division in recent times, so he would be a shrewd signing for the record Premier League champions should they eventually manage to buy him ahead of next season.
