Portuguese midfielder would love to play for Red Devils one day

Tiago Gomes has revealed his love of Manchester United stopped him from signing for rivals City in the summer. The Portuguese midfielder was close to moving to Eastlands but instead switched to Romanian outfit Steaua Bucherest on loan from Estrela da Amadora. The 23-year-old hopes to play for the Red Devils at some point in his career and so allowed his heart to tell him to go to Romania. He told Steaua's official magazine: "I was a step away from going to the Premier League and joining Manchester City. "But I have always been a big fan of Manchester United, a club I would love to play for at some point in my life. "And I let my heart tell me I should join Steaua instead - a decision I don't regret."
