# Manchester United: Fans react to reported interest in Angel Gomes

**Manchester United are still trying to keep Angel Gomes at Old Trafford as the wonderkid nears the end of his contract, according to [The Evening Standard](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/manchester-united-transfer-latest-angel-gomes-a4433506.html).**

Gomes has made just six appearances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side in all competitions this season. The 19-year-old has also scored four goals and created two assists in five games for the Red Devils’ development squad ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/angel-gomes/profil/spieler/392770)).

United will no doubt be well aware that other Premier League rivals are monitoring the midfielder’s situation, with Frank Lampard’s Chelsea lining up a move for the England under-20 international in the summer ([The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-make-final-contract-21981707)). The board are secretly hoping that [Tahith Chong’s decision](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/manchester-united-transfer-latest-angel-gomes-a4433506.html) on his future will cajole Gomes into following suit.

Although Solskjaer has used a number of academy products during his time at the Theatre of Dreams, including the likes of Scott McTominay and Marcus Rashford, the playmaker has been pushed to the outskirts of the squad so far.

Loads of United supporters took to social media to share their thoughts on the transfer update. Whilst some directed their ire at the “overrated” youngster, others reserved their anger for the club. One fan branded the saga as “nonsense” and another added Ed Woodward should “let him go.”

Scroll down through some of the differing reactions below…

> It hurts to know that if this boy was given more game time , he’d be the Sancho we’re all hyping. Maybe even better

> Honestly from what I’ve seen he isn’t that great in the first team. He may be another Giggs, or another Ravel. From what I’ve seen it’s not the Welshman.
