Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur: Premier League 2
Gomes has graduated to the senior team this season.

A product of the Manchester United academy Angel Gomes is the youngest player to play for United in the Premier League era. He made his debut for the club at the age of 16 years 8 months and 23 days in a 2-0 home victory against Crystal Palace.

He joined the Manchester United academy at the age of 6 and signed a formal contract at age 13. He signed his first professional contract for Manchester United in December 2017 and since then has made sporadic appearances for the first team.

His playing style has often been compared to that of Ronaldinho due to his stunning ball control and great dribbling ability.

He has always played above his age level and has also showcased his leadership abilities on the world stage - he has worn the captain's armband for England U16s and U17s.

He would be looking for more opportunities in a United shirt in the future.
