Manchester United continues to rebuild their midfield for the long term, with Wolverhampton star João Gomes emerging as a strong option, according to a report from "CaughtOffside."

The team is preparing to enter the 2026 transfer market with strength, under the leadership of head coach Rúben Amorim, who is aiming for more energy and balance in the midfield.

The 24-year-old Brazilian player is known for his combative style and ability to recover the ball. His market value is estimated at around 50 million euros, compared to the higher values of other young players that Manchester United is targeting, such as Carlos Baleba and Elliott Anderson.

Despite the difficulty of an immediate deal due to Wolverhampton's need to secure their league status, Manchester United plans to monitor the situation throughout 2026, taking into account the futures of Casemiro, Koby Mainoo, and O'Hare in the team.
