United may face a battle with Man City and Liverpool to land a former player who is making waves across Europe, however they already have one player in their ranks Guardiola would love to sign
Manchester United have been told by two former players that they could end up with a pairing of Angel Gomes and Kobbie Mainoo - a duo that Man City boss Pep Guardiola would love to have.
The idea of uniting two of Europe's most promising young midfielders will be an alluring prospect for Ten Hag. However, he could have a job on his hands with Gomes also being linked with a host of clubs thanks to his meteoric rise, with City and rivals Liverpool also rumoured to be in for the young star.
Butt also revealed that he told Gomes personally that he's destined for great things, he added: “When Angel left United, I said to him, ‘You’re going to go on and have an unbelievable career and I wouldn’t be surprised if you end up playing against Manchester United for Barcelona or Real Madrid in the next five, six, seven years’, because he was that good."
"The biggest compliment I can pay him, and it hurts to say this, I hope people can take this in the right spirit… he looked like a Manchester City player," Neville said after the game on Sky Sports. "Honestly, I was watching him and thinking, ‘that’s a player that Pep Guardiola will be looking at and thinking, ‘I want him in my midfield, that’s what my midfield players do’.
