I don't think he's leaving unless they get a real good offer for him.
He's not going anywhere. Sooner his haters accept that better for their health.
United could contact us but clubs are doing this all the time about almost every player whose situation at club is not totally clear. That doesn't mean they are interested or that they'll even make a serious offer. Knowing our history of selling they might make a lowball offer like 20M or so to see if we'll grab. But there is no way I'd sell him just to sell him and make people happy. I prefer to keep him for another season to see how he'll do in Valverde's system. He will still be young next summer and will have 3 years of contract left so if he won't improve we can always sell him next year. With Mendes as his agent his market value won't drop that much even if he has another bad season. But I expect him to do much better.
Its not just for the sake of selling. If he gets sold we get another 25-30m to invest into another player, which will be of huge help. Selling Gomes, Arda, Mathieu would get us around 50m to invest in Dembele or Bellerin.
edit: Forgot we have some loaned out players too. If we sell Tello, Vermaelen and Munir we have another possible 20m.
According to MD, Valverde wants to keep Gomes.
