“My information at the moment is that Gomes is being wanted by all the best clubs in the Premier League, there are something like 4 or 5 clubs. But Manchester United have not yet decided what they want to do in midfield. It will be important to understand the board structure beforehand and what is going to happen with Casemiro and/or Eriksen to understand how Man United's plan will evolve.
