Pulse Sports lists the players who were deemed not good enough by Manchester United but have gone on to shine elsewhere while they continue to struggle.
Gomes first left Manchester United in 2020 after rising through the club’s academy. He joined Lille on a free transfer and was immediately loaned to Portuguese side Boavista for the 2020–21 season. Upon returning to Lille, the versatile midfielder gradually carved out a significant role, appearing in 134 matches, scoring 10 goals and providing 19 assists across all competitions.
Despite an injury-hit 2024–25 season that limited him to 20 appearances and only 10 starts in Ligue 1, Gomes remained an influential figure when fit.
"It was a tough season with injuries, but I’ve learned a lot and grown stronger. Now, I’m looking forward to a fresh start and giving everything for this club," Gomes added.
Gomes to linkup with Greenwood
At Marseille, Gomes will link up with former teammate Mason Greenwood, who joined the club last summer. The pair came through Manchester United’s youth ranks and were tipped as future stars before taking different paths in their careers.
