Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed it's highly likely Angel Gomes will leave the club after 30 June.
Gomes has been at the club for 6 years now and United has been trying to extend his contract all season long, but has failed to reach an agreement. It is heard that United are offering £30k/week but Gomes's agency is holding out for more. This season, he was expected to play an integral role for the first-team but that hasn't been the case as he has made only 6 appearances all season long.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of the Brighton game, Ole said," I've not heard from him last night or this morning so it seems like they haven't managed to agree anything.
When asked this could potentially be the end of the road for Gomes at United, Solskjaer replied " The answer is probably short-yes.'
It's a shame such a marvelous talent will be leaving the club without making his mark at the club. This season saw the rise of academy products Greenwood and Williams, Chong too gradually is getting there, but Gomes he failed to make the mark. There have been reports that while there's no doubt about his skills and talent, physique is one aspect of the game which worries Solskjaer. I agree with Ole here, while he looks skillful but he lacks physicality probably due to his height. In English football, along with skills you need physicality to thrive, which clearly Angel is lacking. I don't think it will be much of a loss really as he was unimpressive with whatever chances he got and we're well stocked in the positions he play. Nonetheless, best of luck for the future Angel! May you become the player you were expected to be.
