Gomes joined from Valencia in the summer of 2016 in a deal that could reach £48million, and was widely heralded as the successor to Andre Iniesta.

But the 24-year-old’s performances have left a lot to be desired, and he has been booed by fans for a number of months.

That hasn’t stopped United and Italian champions Juventus from reportedly expressing an interest in Gomes’ services.

And the player now looks like he will be available after telling Barca chiefs he wants to leave the club at the end of the season.

Gomes recently revealed he was even scared to leave his house after being made a pariah by Barcelona fans.

He said: “Maybe it’s not the best word but life has become a bit of a hell, because I started to feel the pressure.

“The feeling that I have during games is bad. Thinking too much hurts me, because I think about the bad things.

“On more than one occasion I have not wanted to leave the house. People look at you and I’m afraid to walk in the street out of shame.”
