Angel Gomes can be "one hell of a player" for&nbsp;Manchester United, says Nicky Butt, with those at Old Trafford hoping that a solution can be found in an ongoing contract "dispute". The midfielder's contract expires in the summer and despite the possibility of him leaving the club, United's&nbsp;head of first-team development is hopeful he still has a big part to play at the club in the future. Butt told the Manchester Evening News: "I've still got massive hopes for him. He’s got a contract dispute at the minute which all players have, and I don’t get involved in that. That’s what he does with his agent and the club. That’s personal. "The boy trains every day and works hard and his talent is unbelievable. His work ethic, the way he approaches training every day, and the way he approaches games whether he’s playing for the reserve-team, the Under-19s, the first-team, is spot-on and he’s a very talented boy. "He’s different to players like Scott [McTominay], because they are powerful and they can go and compete at that level. Angel is different. He has to get the right niche at the right time. If it all comes together then we've got one hell of a player on our hands." <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/man-utd-optimistic-on-gomes-contract-despite-dispute-butt/1g0fxor1cllp2zlovj6e665ov" target="_blank">Check out the full story on Goal!</a>

He’s very used to that. I can’t see anything on that. "It is very difficult to replace a player of that calibre, but hopefully we can keep him and we don’t have that issue to resolve. "We went through that [playing without Aubameyang] when he was suspended for three games [in January]. And we had a good response from the players in those games, but long-term if you lose him the impact is obvious." <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/arteta-unfazed-by-aubameyang-exit-talk-despite-arsenal/m2jscieiupuf1op2njo09g2gl" target="_blank">Check out the full story on Goal!</a>

The Blaugrana are pushing hard to sign the striker amid rumoured interest from Real Madrid, but cannot afford to pay the player's €111 million (£94m/$121m) release clause – which must be activated between July 1 and July 15 – as they will fall foul of Financial Fair Play. As such, Barca have two options: include players as part of a part-exchange deal or have Inter accept a figure above the current release clause, meaning more money in the long run, to be paid over three to four years.

Mikel Arteta says he trusts Arsenal's club chiefs to deal with the ongoing situation surrounding Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's contract. The forward's deal expires in 2021, meaning the Gunners could be tempted to cash in on him while they can this summer. “The club has a very good idea of how he wants to develop things," Arteta told a press conference.
