The former Man Utd star is opening the door to a return to Old Trafford after making his England debut last month

Gomes made his full England debut in a 2-0 win over Finland last month.

Speaking to Times Sport, Gomes refused to rule out a return to United after playing for LOSC Lille.

He said: “There will always be that sentimental weakness, so of course it would be difficult to say no.”

“As amazing as it would be, after finding happiness abroad, I know [playing in the Premier League] is not the be-all and end-all.”

Gomes rose through the ranks at United before moving to Lille on a free transfer in 2020.

He made his debut for the Red Devils against Crystal Palace in 2017, coming on as a substitute for Wayne Rooney.

Gomes became United’s youngest ever Premier League player and made ten first-team appearances for his boyhood club.

He revived his career in France, scoring two goals and ten assists last season.

Half of his assists came while playing as a central midfielder. He played the same role for the Three Lions, playing alongside Declan Rice in a two-man midfield.

United currently have a deep pool of midfielders thanks to Kobbie Mainoo’s breakthrough and Manuel Ugarte’s arrival this summer.

However, Casemiro and Christian Eriksen could leave the club next summer.

Eriksen is in the final year of his contract and there have been no talks about a contract extension.

Gomes may want to return to the Premier League to stay in the spotlight after getting his first taste of international football.

United lack a player who can sit deep and control the game and Gomes could fit into that role.
