Overview
- Manchester United are preparing a January midfield refresh under Ruben Amorim after prioritising attacking signings in the summer.
- João Gomes has been highlighted across reports as a cost-effective target, with a mooted fee of about £44m (€50m) compared with far higher valuations for Carlos Baleba and Elliot Anderson.
- Portuguese outlet Record is cited as saying Gomes would be open to joining United, with the club considering whether to act when the window opens.
- Coverage from England reports Wolves have assured new boss Rob Edwards they will not sell key players in January, complicating any near-term deal despite the team’s poor league position.
- United forward Matheus Cunha, a former Wolves teammate, has publicly lauded Gomes as “unbelievable,” which has been used to underscore the midfielder’s fit for Amorim’s plans.
