Mannwan: Angel Gomez chooses to join Marseille and will complete the transfer in the next few weeks

According to the British media Manchester Evening News, former Manchester United player Angel Gomez chose to join Marseille. Angel Gomez is expected to complete the transfer in the coming weeks after his contract with Lille expires.

Angel Gomez, who changed his agency earlier this year, was eager to join Barcelona after playing for five years. If the transfer fails to be realized, Angel Gomez is also confident of transferring to the mid-to-upper Premier League team. But he finally chose to stay in Ligue 1 and join Marseille coached by Dezelby, who has qualified for the Champions League.

Angel Gomez will reunite with former Manchester United teammate Greenwood in Marseille. Greenwood tied for the Ligue 1 scorer with Paris striker Dembele last season with 21 goals.

In 2020, Angel Gomez refused to renew Manchester United's contract and left the team freely. He made his debut under Mourinho at the age of 16 and 263 days in May 2017, but has only played for his parent team nine times since then. At the time Manchester United coach Solskjaer was negative about his contract dispute and excluded Angel Gomez from the roster in the UEFA Cup match against Linz. The player completely lost his first team position in the first five months of leaving the team due to uncertain future.

In May 2017, Angel Gomez became the fourth youngest player in Manchester United's history at the age of 16 and 263 days. Angel Gomez only got one starting chance seven months before leaving the team, and his agency's final effort to try to loan to Premier League clubs on January 2020 transfer deadline also failed.
