Angel Gomes became Manchester United’s youngest debutant since Duncan Edwards when he came off the bench on the final weekend of the 2016-17 Premier League campaign.
At 16, Gomes is already being tipped to enjoy a bright future at Old Trafford, with the Englishman pushing to be part of Jose Mourinho’s first-team squad for the new campaign.
Like most of the football world, Gomes was watching the 2017 Champions League final between Real Madrid and Juventus on Saturday night, and the teenager took to his Twitter account to reveal that he was enjoying the performance of Los Blancos midfielder Isco.
Gomes might have only just stepped into the professional game, but there were some Man United supporters that claimed that the midfielder was already a better player than Isco, who has now won the Champions League in each of the last two seasons.
It would be fair to say that most of the comments were meant to be of a light-hearted nature, but the words will have only increased Gomes’ confidence as he bids to make a career at Man United.
If the teenager does turn out to be Man United’s very own Isco, he is sure to enjoy a special career at the Theatre of Dreams.
