Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that highly-rated youngster Angel Gomes is yet to sign a contract extension and would likely leave the club when his contract expires on June 30.
The 19-year-old came through United’s academy and made his debut at age 16 in May 2017, becoming the youngest player since Duncan Edwards to feature for the first–team.
According to Sky Sports, talks over a new deal with the England Under-20 international have been taking place as Solskjaer last week expressed optimism that terms of the new contract would be agreed.
However, it appears that the club reached a roadblock, with Solskjaer now expecting the United midfielder to leave when his contract expires on Tuesday.
When asked whether Gomes would be leaving the club, the manager responded;
I have not heard from him last night or this morning so it seems like they have not managed to agree anything. The answer is probably short – yes.
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 Manchester United academy graduate Mason Greenwood has limited Gomes‘ first-team opportunities, with the player likely to leave the club this year.
Manchester United had reportedly offered Gomes, who has been training at the club since the age of six, a deal worth around £30,000 a week but he had concerns over playing time and there has been interest from other clubs.
