Gomez Aims to Haunt Manchester United…
Manchester’s red side has mastered the art of watching their former players flourish elsewhere, but now it’s Manchester City’s turn to feel the deja vu! Once the Etihad’s underappreciated wallflower, Sergio Gomez has blossomed into Real Sociedad’s breakout star. Forget Pep’s famous plan; summer 2022 belonged to the mighty Haaland and Alvarez. Gomez, meanwhile, was City’s stealth sign – a left-back hidden among the wing wizards!
Remember that wild 6-3 derby? The one where United’s defense collectively misplaced their map? Gomez chipped in an assist then, crowing, “Manchester is blue!” But alas, our Spanish friend swapped pieces of the pitch like someone who left Google Maps at home. Despite moments of brilliance and training selfies with Guardiola (cue, living-the-dream vibes), he found himself benched so often it seemed he had and end-of-year lease on the spot!
Zoom to the present, and Gomez’s Sociedad stint reads like a redemption novel. With three goals, five assists, and more game time than ever, he’s flying higher than a pep-talk pep rally. This week, he could turn United’s Europa League jaunt into extra therapy sessions. Just imagine: A former City lad slinging assists and Manchester tears from Spain. Talk about a plot twist!
