Manchester United Are Keeping Tabs On This Talented Winger: What Will He Bring To Old Trafford? | OneFootball

In a recent report, AS mentioned that Manchester United are keeping tabs on Porto winger William Gomes. It has been stated that the Red Devils would have to rival Atletico Madrid, AS Roma, Arsenal and Newcastle United in the race to sign the Brazilian wide player this off-season.

Gomes’ Impressive Rise In Portuguese Football

The 20-year-old has caught the eye at times with his performances on the right side of Porto’s attack in this campaign. Gomes has banged in 13 goals and secured a couple of assists in 46 matches for the Portuguese club this season across all fronts.

The Brazilian prospect is currently among the most talented wide players in Liga Portugal. Thus, Man United would do well to win the race for his services this summer.

Gomes’ current contract at the Portuguese club will run out in the summer of 2029, which could make it tough for the Red Devils to land him on the cheap in this upcoming transfer window.

What Will Gomes Bring To Manchester United?

Gomes can engineer a yard of space for himself to get a few strikes in at goal. He has got the eye to create the odd chance for others around him on the offensive end of the field. Gomes is a good dribbler with the ball and can cause some headaches for his marker out in the wide areas when he is playing with confidence on the field.

The Brazilian sensation is primarily a right-winger but can also serve as a left-sided wide player if told to do so. However, it remains to be seen whether he can cope with the physical style and high intensity of the Premier League if the Red Devils manage to snap him up this off-season.

Gomes would bring more firepower to Man United boss Michael Carrick’s attack. He is already good enough to challenge for a regular starting spot at Old Trafford.

At 20, Gomes has got the potential to be a future star in English football as long as he continues to improve with each year. Therefore, Carrick should focus on trying everything in his power to lure him to the Theatre of Dreams in this summer transfer period.
