Ten Hag looking at young Brazilian ace lighting the Premier League on fire – report
Joao Gomes, under contract with Wolverhampton until the summer of 2028, could be a significant addition to Manchester United’s midfield.
Still, after four games of the current Premier League season, concerns have already been voiced regarding the new additions.
The first player from Chelsea to arrive, Mason Mount, was supposed to partner Casemiro in the No. 8 position.
Instead, he took up positions higher on the field, providing openings for the opposition to take advantage.
He suffered an injury after only two games, while another recent addition, Sofyan Amrabat, who signed on the last day of the transfer window after much delay and price negotiation, also came hurt with a back problem discovered during the medical.
Man United’s midfield continues to have issues
Even while the national team management said that his withdrawal from international duty was just a precaution, it still raises questions about when he can start for his new club.
Additionally, injuries have prevented Kobbie Mainoo from showcasing his talent, while Donny van de Beek and Scott McTominay’s futures are still uncertain.
Christian Eriksen and Casemiro, the manager’s favorite midfield pairing, are getting older, so Erik ten Hag has to liven things up.
Fichajes claims that the Dutch manager already seems to have a strategy, including signing a player who performed well in their Premier League debut against the Red Devils.
Joao Gomes, a midfielder for Wolverhampton Wanderers, stood out particularly during the encounter at Old Trafford despite the team’s close defeat.
The Brazilian, whose deal with Wolves expires in the summer of 2028, would be the ideal player for Ten Hag, given his versatility as a central and defensive midfielder.
Can Joao Gomes save Manchester United?
“The 22-year-old Brazilian midfielder is one of the Premier League’s early season surprises. Gomes, under contract with Wolverhampton until the summer of 2028, could be a significant addition to Manchester United’s midfield.
He might provide the squad with the required profile that they sorely need. His playing style would suit nicely with Ten Hag’s mentality.
According to Transfermarkt, Gomes has a market worth of € 18 million, but if he makes his debut for the Brazilian national team, that value is predicted to soar.
He was only called up in March, and should United contact Wolves about a permanent move next summer, they’ll probably expect a premium for their star midfielder.
