Brazilian Signed a new contract last seasonbut Wolves’ poor performance this season may see him leave Molineux early.
Despite recent developments, a report from CaughtOffside now suggests that Manchester United could be the team to take advantage of the opportunity as Liverpool’s interest in the 24-year-old cools.
Will Joao Gomez join Manchester United?
The Red Devils are just one of a number of teams reportedly interested in the Brazilian, with Crystal Palace, Napoli and Atletico Madrid also interested.
United view Gomez as the ideal candidate to add coverage in midfield in a post-Casem Rio set-up.

Competition to sign the midfielder will be fierce, which may be one of the reasons Liverpool are reluctant to act on their long-standing interest, despite the lack of midfielder recruitment in recent transfer windows.
Defense is likely to be the Reds’ priority this winter, although Alexander Isak’s broken leg may also require the introduction of a forward.
Liverpool are likely to reassess the situation if Gomez remains available in the summer, but as things stand it looks like the Reds will miss out once again.
