Ole Gunnar Solskjaer expects Angel Gomes to leave Manchester United on June 30 after failing to sign a new contract with the midfielder. The young man was offered a new contract, but Gomes and his representatives did not reach an agreement and the 19-year-old must leave the club for free.
Solskjaer said last week that he hoped conditions could be agreed to keep the midfielder at the club, but the United manager had changed his mind before the team’s trip to Brighton in the Premier League.
When asked if Gomes would stay at the club, Solskjaer replied: “I don’t have any news, nothing, so it doesn’t seem like it. I didn’t hear from them last night (Sunday) or this morning, it seems they haven’t failed to agree, so the answer is probably short, then. “
