“I think there needs to be a balance in the midfield, and I don’t think Angel Gomes will be the solution,” Saha told reporters. “The ideal player for that role is a true master, someone who can provide a consistent link between defense and attack. I don’t see Angel Gomes as that kind of player.”

Midfield Conundrum: Other Options on the Radar

Saha’s comments come amidst United’s ongoing search for reinforcements in midfield. One player frequently linked with the Red Devils is Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku, a dynamic and versatile playmaker. However, Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca, Nkunku’s former coach, has downplayed rumors of a January move for the Frenchman.

Meanwhile, talk of Ruben Amorim cutting ties with forward Joshua Zirkzee appears to be premature, with sources indicating that the Dutch striker could still have a role to play at Old Trafford.

Gyökeres and the Striker Dilemma

United’s need for a lethal striker also remains a pressing concern. Viktor Gyökeres, who has scored an astonishing 67 goals in 69 appearances for Sporting CP, is a name frequently mentioned in connection with the club. While Saha has endorsed the Swedish forward, former United defender Rio Ferdinand has expressed reservations after analyzing Gyökeres’ performance against Arsenal.

Gomes’ Career So Far

Gomes left Manchester United in 2020 after making just 10 senior appearances, most of which were brief cameos. He joined Lille on a free transfer, where he has gradually developed into a versatile and reliable player. A loan spell at Boavista in the 2020/21 season helped him secure a starting spot in Lille’s lineup the following year.

To date, Gomes has made 118 appearances for Lille, scoring eight goals and providing 18 assists. His ability to play as an attacking, central, or wide midfielder has made him a sought-after talent, with several top clubs monitoring his situation.

What’s Next for United?

As January approaches, Ruben Amorim faces critical decisions about the squad’s composition. While Gomes’ potential return could add versatility, United’s challenges in midfield and attack may require more immediate and transformative solutions. Whether the club opts to bring back Gomes, pursue Gyökeres, or explore alternative targets will undoubtedly shape the trajectory of Amorim’s tenure at Old Trafford.
