# Manchester United: Supporters beg Solskjaer to play Angel Gomes after 2-0 Burnley loss

**Following Manchester United’s unexpected [2-0 defeat](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh7St4XeB9U) at home to Burnley, supporters have since gone on and begged manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to play midfield youngster Angel Gomes over the likes of Andreas Pereira and Jesse Lingard – taking to Twitter in full support over the academy graduate.**

Goals from Chris Wood and Jay Rodriguez sealed an evening to forget from United’s perspective, with the loss becoming their [third](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table) in just five games. As a result of the contest, there has been much deliberation over the Red Devils’ best starting eleven, with these supporters in particular thinking Gomes should get a shot over Lingard and Pereira.

The Englishman, compared to both regular United starters, has amassed a superior pass success rate of 91.3% over three Europa League starts whilst also averaging 2 shots per match in the competition, [as per WhoScored.com](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/338497/Show/Angel-Gomes). Meanwhile, Gomes has also accumulated more key passes per game ([1.7](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/338497/Show/Angel-Gomes)) on average when starting in Europe than the duo – perhaps hinting at a potentially positive impact if he were played more often.

One thing is for certain, these Red Devils fans certainly think he could provide a different dimension – find all of their best comments down below.

> What do Pereira and Lingard offer!?! Nothing. We know that. Why is OGS persisting with them!?! Gomes could offer something, he can’t offer any less, but now he’s gone on a free, because he’s watching trash play ahead of him.
