Angel Gomes

Age: 17

Club: Manchester United

Position: Attacking midfielder

Nationality: English

Another prolific Manchester United teenager destined to make it big in the beautiful game. Angel Gomes made his senior team debut aged only 16, becoming the first player born in the 2000s to play in the Premier League.

On the international stage, the young starlet has sent ripples throughout the football world after producing wonderful performances in England's U-17 World Cup-winning campaign.

Despite his tender age, Angel Gomes has drawn comparisons with former greats Ronaldinho and Paul Scholes for his vision and ability to control the tempo of the game. Active as an attacking midfielder, the Englishman also has good dribbling skills.

The 17-year-old has been a top target for Barcelona in the recent days. With his future at Old Trafford yet to be resolved, United will certainly go to any lengths in safeguarding their gem from the prying eyes of the Catalans.
