Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that highly-rated youngster Angel Gomes is yet to sign a contract extension and looks set to leave Manchester United by tomorrow.
Sky Sports said the the highly-rated 19-year-old came through United’s academy and made his debut aged 16 in May 2017, becoming the youngest player since Duncan Edwards to feature for the first team.
Gomes has appeared twice off the bench in the Premier League this season, while starting three times in the Europa League.
The signing of Bruno Fernandes and the emergence of fellow academy graduate Mason Greenwood has limited Gomes’ first-team opportunities, and it now seems he will leave the club this summer.
Solskjaer demands focus ahead of ‘exciting’ run-in Wolves’ win over Aston Villa on Saturday meant they leapfrogged United into fifth, although Solskjaer’s side have a game in hand.
They are currently five points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea but, with fifth place currently good enough for Champions League qualification due to Manchester City’s ban from Europe, United look in a reasonable position with seven games remaining.
