Lille midfielder Angel Gomes has confirmed he is facing a spell on the sidelines as he undergoes recovery from an unspecified injury.
Gomes, who represented United between 2006 and 2020 before departing for Lille, is believed to be a player the Red Devils are interested in bringing back to the club.
He has been exceptional in France and has alerted a number of clubs to his availability as he approaches free agency.
A recent report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Ruben Amorim is open to the idea of Gomes making a sensational return to Old Trafford.
The Red Devils are not the only party eyeing a free move for Gomes. Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United also retain an admiration for the England international.
However, Gomes himself previously hinted that he would favour a transfer to United above all other destinations if he were presented with such an opportunity.
Amidst all this, the 24-year-old has revealed that he picked up an injury.
Gomes published a message on X which reads, “For the past few months I’ve been dealing with an injury that has deeply affected my ability to perform at the level I hold myself to. Those who know me understand how much I love playing this game and what it means to me. Not being able to give my best on the pitch has been incredibly frustrating.”
“After working closely with the medical team, we’ve decided that the best course of action is to treat the injury and focus fully on rehabilitation to ensure a complete recovery.”
“This was a difficult decision because all I want to do is play and help the team in every way possible. But it’s the right choice to make sure I come back better and stronger.”
“I’m fully committed to putting in the work during this rehab period and doing everything I can to be back out there on the pitch where I belong.”
“Your support means everything to me and I’m so grateful for your patience and understanding. Thank you for sticking with me through this period. See you soon!”
“Allez le Losc.”
Frustrating times, but I’ll be back stronger!
