Gomes has reportedly arrived in the French city with the England midfielder expected to undergo a medical on Wednesday. Last month, Gomes confirmed his departure from Lille this summer at the end of his contract, ending his five-year stay with the club. The 24-year-old, who has been capped four times by the Three Lions, left United in 2020 after failing to break into their first team under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Multiple Premier League clubs - including West Ham and Tottenham were understood to have been keen on bringing him back to England. Gomes will again team up with Greenwood, with the duo having come through Man United's academy together. England international Angel Gomes is set to join Marseille on a free after leaving Lille Gomes will team up again with his former Manchester United team-mate Mason Greenwood Greenwood had celebrated in Gomes' honour in 2020 when the midfielder left Man United Gomes had made just six appearances for Man United's senior team having come through the academy, with six coming alongside Greenwood. Greenwood celebrated a goal in tribute of Gomes back in 2020, after the midfielder left Man United on a free transfer. The forward had formed an 'A' with his hands after scoring in a 3-0 win against Brighton. Gomes had responded to the tribute on social media by writing 'No words! I love you bro. 'Special, special player, thanks for the dedicated goal. ' The move will see Gomes play in the Champions League next season with Marseille, after Roberto De Zerbi's side finished as Ligue 1 runners-up. Greenwood had played a key role in Marseille's qualification as he ended as the joint top goalscorer in the French top flight. The forward and his family moved to Marseille last summer after he completed a £30million move from Man United. Gomes had thanked Greenwood for the celebration in a Man United victory back in 2020 Gomes, bottom right, made 10 Man United appearances with six coming alongside Greenwood Greenwood joined the club following a season long loan spell at Spanish side Getafe last season. It was decided he would leave Man United after he was arrested in January 2022 before being charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour. Charges against Greenwood were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service following the 'withdrawal of key witnesses and new material coming to light'.
