Cheers to him. Always seemed like a good lad. Wish the best for him. I don't want him to trounce United any time soon in opposing kit, but I do hope he does well all of the other times he plays. Proud he's graduated from United's academy.
@@davidublin I don't think so (personal opinion). I don't think Gomes comes back to United, honestly. The only way I see him coming back is different: I think he'd be a Bruno replacement in a few years. Eriksen is such a different, class player. Not sure United "replace" him at all except for his roster spot with a different player. I know it's probably a bit of a "hot take", and this comment might get flack; it's just how I see it.
This kid is the answer to United’s midfield. As a midfield defensive player. Exactly what Ten Hag has been pining for with his incessant chasing of Frenkie de Jong. This kid is potentially is better. He’s available on a free in the summer. United should tie him up in January with a pre-contract and sign him in the summer. A midfield of Ugarte and Angel, as a pivots, with Angel as a defensive play-maker, with Kobbie Mainoo playing ahead of him. Height didn’t stop Xavi, Iniesta, David Silva etc. It doesn’t stop Angel, and won’t stop him in the Premier League.
Happy 4 him 🙂 Well deserved! He's a hard worker with a top mentality also has a great family unit around him. Off topic but yesterday I spoke about UTD on Ste's last live stream but realised TH-cam didn't publish my comment so I rewritten it in Portuguese to bypass the algorithm. A must read especially if you like something different compared to the usual surface-level babble. Blessings to all GGMU 🔴
Angel gomes was top talent and I expected him to become great,I had his image in my DP for so long...He is doing great because he was away from old Trafford...
Really tidy player, something we really lack in the middle is someone who does the simple things and can dictate the tempo. I would love to see him have a career with us and I think it’s possible. Nice video Ste
Bruno is 30. Gonna have to start to think about his long term replacement. Gomes would make us a much more secure possession side playing in the 8/10 role
Stephen, can you address the captaincy issue on the pitch. I would like to hear your thoughts. I have been observing that a lack of "strong leadership" by keeping yourself accountable and your team mates is lacking. The days of Keane, when the chips are down, he would rally the troops. The Manager is not on the pitch.
Wasn't the story with Gomes that he wouldn't sign a contract, (for whatever reason, not enough money or guaranteed game time) and that is the reason Ole didn't play him? Which is a shame, he would have cemented his place because at that time Ole kept switching between Lingard and Pereira for attacking midfielder role because both of them were not good enough.
I think he’s exactly what we need at United. Been playing in a deeper role more recently… similar to Kobbie. What a pair of 8’s that would be for United. He’ll be available on a free next summer. I think Casemiro will deploy this season as an 8, or at least he should, and then get sold next summer. Everything seems to be lining up perfectly for Angel to return.
6:05 Being short as an attacking mid, winger or fullback can be advantageous especially if the player is quick, can dribble and is agile. When it comes to player height in relation to their positions, my ideal would be over 6ft for GKs, CBs, DMs, CMs & STs combined with under 6ft fullbacks, wingers and 10s. This gives a nice balance and covers all the bases in my humble opinion.
when he played, he did nothing. when you get a chance you have to impress like Garnacho and manioo have done? we are not a small development club, you may only get a few half games to impress. he didn't.
@@ddha0000 when he played? How many games did he play? Oh well so KDB and Salah did nothing when they "played" at Chelsea. Who's the joke on now? Chelsea is not a small development club, they're a big buying club in 6th instead. Liverpool and City the small development clubs are dominating we the big impatient United
Angel and Garner are the 2 youngsters I'm most annoyed we let go. Imagine a midfield of them 2 and Kobbie 😔 Guess we'll have to hope 1 day we see it for England
Yeah I was gutted when they both went, I watched garner quite abit when he was at forest on loan and he was class playing that holding midfielder role and he never got a chance
We should sell Bruno. I wanted Bruno sold and replaced by Florian Wirtz last year but ETH spent the money on Mason Mount. Angel Gomes on a free is very appealing
If he would’ve stayed at United, would’ve been unknown now…he did the right thing…we promote kids based on physicality (ie McTominay)…until ETH came along, we didn’t really develop a player after Fergie…
I remember not having a single clue who he was and then one day he showed up on Fifa and was maybe the best young player in the entire game and all of a sudden every United fan including a bunch of my own mates were talking about him daily but also saying that they'd known about him for years even though this daily talk about the kid started immediately after Fifa came out. it was quite comical. As soon as a young player shows up, everyone suddenly becomes a season ticket holder for the youth team 😂
His contract expires next summer. He had pogba, matic, Fred in front of him. He was never gonna get a chance with the fees we paid for them. There was no pathway then, if he was at united now, he'd definitely be in there under Ten Hag.
Good for him!!!! Shame to of seen him leave. His breakthrough into our 1st team was just at the wrong time. With the changes in management and personnel seeing him get overlooked. I’m surprised by the way he’s playing at Lille. I didn’t see this part of his game but he had it!!! All the tools to succeed at United. Just wrong time and rotten luck.. For both player and club… Happy to see him called up… I’m intrigued by this England squad.. Very interesting/exciting stuff.. Fingers crossed 🤞 😂
I would love him back at United but he should only come back if ETH is fired. ETH will miss the Top 4 this year and his defenders will still defend him.
Whilst I loved him as a player, we held on to Mata for too long and blocked Angel. Yet it was so obvious that Angel could thrive in the PL because of Mata. They are the exact same height and build. Another example of a wasted talent because he didn't look good on the balance sheet. Yet we continued to pay Mata 175k a week to block his progress.
Have always liked Angel Gomes. Glad to see him tearing it up in Ligue 1 and getting his first England call up. Hope he steers clear of the romantic return to United any time soon - we’d definitely derail his career.
Hopefully Ineos holds ETH accountable. If he fails to achieve Top 4 then fire him and start the rebuild and let the manager have players suited to the new style. Angel Gomes might be suited to possession football.
Sky sports labelled him englands new star on their website the other day??? What? He hasn’t even played for them yet. He wasn’t good enough for us back then. Let’s not rewrite history
He couldn't make it to the first team permanently because manchester united has been a mess since sir ferguson left. It has been a struggling team all through. He had no one to guide him and take him up in the team because it's always be headlines in the club.
I do think it’s quite treacherous, Utd put all that time money and effort into these kids and they decide to leave for free, he was a kid when he joined and a kid when he left, at least wait and see how far you could go with Utd THEN leave. At that time Utd could get some money for selling him
He’s an average player. He’s done decently since leaving, which is actually better than most of the players released by United in recent years. I think people get too giddy about United youth products especially if they have a British passport. He’s an average player who’s played decently since last season. I hope he cracks on for himself but he wasn’t good enough for United then or now. But hey, never say never. Im honestly curious how that head injury went recently. It looked serious.
The english press will soon start calling him the next iniesta because england doesn't have a player in the premier league with his size and playing style... just wait and see.
Hmmmm! I wouldn’t be that damn surprised as England either never had technical players or they don’t know how to utilise them in a flawed system they love play all the time: a pragmatic one! Boring, boring, safe, boring!😑💯
Oof. What a shit take. He’s an average footballer. Im so happy he’s done something with his career but he got let go for a reason. He looks decent in French league on an ok team.
🔴 What is this guy talking about? Lol "Gomes has thrived in a less physical league in france" 😂 Mate Ligue 1 is a very physical league even more so than the prem - Do your research properly before talking.

Height didn’t stop Xavi, Iniesta, David Silva etc. It doesn’t stop Angel, and won’t stop him in the Premier League.
Mainoo doesn’t create enough to be the top of the midfield. Unless we play the three with Hojland Zirkzee and Fernandes below them
That was a nice video - top man giving the kid his flowers Ste

what was it
You’d be so welcome back with open arms Angel never wanted you to go
Angel gomes was top talent and I expected him to become great,I had his image in my DP for so long...He is doing great because he was away from old Trafford...
And he has 1 year left on his contract , could we see him back at Utd , he’d be a great addition.
He’s talked in a interview only under a year ago how he’d actually love to come back
Really tidy player, something we really lack in the middle is someone who does the simple things and can dictate the tempo. I would love to see him have a career with us and I think it’s possible. Nice video Ste
What a great positive piece. Great content
Bro I learned who Angel Gomes from you, your under 18 vids what great back in the day!
Bruno is 30. Gonna have to start to think about his long term replacement. Gomes would make us a much more secure possession side playing in the 8/10 role
He’s even said in an interview he’d love to come back
He’s got 1 year left. With Eriksen and Case go id bring him on a free
If mount is gonna play as an 8 backup for Mainoo then Angel makes a lot of sense
And he’s talked about how he’d love to come back
Issa good look
Big up Ste
Love from 🇯🇲
Happy for him.
Hes been one of Lille top players and playmakers over the last 3 years, check his stats
Wasn't he assist leader last season? He seems to play that Modric role really well for Lille
@@SentientTeapot2444 yep he was
What a brilliant video. Well done Steve. Good luck Angel
Whatever happens I’m just glad he established himself as a top flight professional footballer. Proved a lot of people wrong.
The comment “I think I got linked to Chelsea myself “ cracked me up 😂😂😂
So pleased for Angel. Hope he gets on in at least one of the games and does well.
I’d love to see him come back and smash it at united
Big up Angel
Leaves United as a youngster = dodged career threatening bullet. Good job lad
You seem proud of yourself
Sad but true
@@Sickofdrawingcowboys717he would never have got game time United fans used to say he was too small for the EPL
Really great video Ste. I started following him soon after following you and hearing about what you said about him. We all wish him well.

CM don't need to be tall.
@@almac9203They don't need to be but It helps.
Messi comes to mind, diminutive but deadly.
Was so obvious that the only reason Ole didn't give him a chance was his size. Extremely happy that he's been able to push through the way he has.
One of the core rules of the Universe: "Once a player leaves Manchester United, he shall, more often than not, do very fucking well."
Take a list of players that have left over the last couple of seasons, not many are doing bits
@@OtherSideOfMorning you heard of a joke before, bro?
Gomes, Mainoo, Ugarte, Collyer
He can be like Bernardo Silvia easy
He plays like marco veratti .. and also who is short but technical? The ginger prince
88 percent playing up high as a creative player thats great
Totally agree Ste'
United should re sign angel gomes this summer
Rather see Angel Gomes than Mason Mount
We should've given him a chance when Pogba was giving us attitude. He was ready but some silly fans were saying he's too short 🤦🏽♂️

@@tonyqwabe5873 that's why we were stuck with inferior players for years, because youths didn't set the stage alight
Was pushed out to keep forcing McTomminay into the team makes me sick still today
Do you think he could be an rotation option with Mainoo or as Bruno's replacement
Would be happy to bring him in to be someone who can play multiple roles and maybe even replace Bruno in the future
My baller ❤
If you are good enough you are strong enough, just ask Nobby Stiles and Paul Scholes
I would love him to come back to United
Was it only 2020 he left, seems ages ago. Good luck to him
Angel and Garner are the 2 youngsters I'm most annoyed we let go. Imagine a midfield of them 2 and Kobbie 😔 Guess we'll have to hope 1 day we see it for England
It's understandable that he was let go tho, as he was behind both Bruno and Pogba
@@Hushyluv Given what Pogba did/didnt do for us, I would have enjoyed seeing Gomes grow on the pitch. It couldn't have gone much worse
@ForzaOwnz I do wish that we had loaned him out /sold him with a buyback clause... but at the time, Pogba was much better
Yeah I was gutted when they both went, I watched garner quite abit when he was at forest on loan and he was class playing that holding midfielder role and he never got a chance
he was never going to grow in the prem and still think he is too lightweight. garner is nowhere near good enough, what are you smoking?
We should LOOK at him as a replacement for Bruno in the future. His looks really good in France. But his size might be a problem
Bernardo Silva, Juan Mata, David Silva are similar calibre of players that succeeded in the prem.
@@wayneshamba6961 true
If he plays great during the international break we should get him during jan or next summer
I've always said gomas was a bad boy and I didn't want him to leave united
eriksen replacement 4 next szn prehaps? though mount is taking that position
Would be sooooo up for getting him back on a free to compete with, and eventually replace bruno
Am happy for Angel. Was angry 😡 United didn't try to keep him. Then I was hoping he would be Brunos replacement.
It worked out better this way, he’ll be back here next season
Given he could be free next summer, and his age profile vs. Bruno's, do we think he'd be a astute signing?
We should sell Bruno. I wanted Bruno sold and replaced by Florian Wirtz last year but ETH spent the money on Mason Mount. Angel Gomes on a free is very appealing
If he would’ve stayed at United, would’ve been unknown now…he did the right thing…we promote kids based on physicality (ie McTominay)…until ETH came along, we didn’t really develop a player after Fergie…
Does Ste know that Angel's contract is up next summer?
United are the only team that thought he was a #10. He played as a #6 for England since U16 football.
Gutted when we let him go FFS 😭😭
looks likes his contract is up in 2025.. could be available for a free
I remember not having a single clue who he was and then one day he showed up on Fifa and was maybe the best young player in the entire game and all of a sudden every United fan including a bunch of my own mates were talking about him daily but also saying that they'd known about him for years even though this daily talk about the kid started immediately after Fifa came out. it was quite comical.

Bring back Angel next summer on a free.
Sell Mount.
Everybody wins.
His contract expires next summer. He had pogba, matic, Fred in front of him. He was never gonna get a chance with the fees we paid for them. There was no pathway then, if he was at united now, he'd definitely be in there under Ten Hag.
That purely depends on Ten Hag. If Ten Hag favours him like Rashford then yeah sure, if not he’s getting the Sancho/Amad treatment.
Maybe a team like Dortmund would be a good move for him
I blame ole for letting him go
Is there a buy back clause
He left after his contract expired, so no.
Good for him!!!!
Shame to of seen him leave. His breakthrough into our 1st team was just at the wrong time. With the changes in management and personnel seeing him get overlooked.
I’m surprised by the way he’s playing at Lille. I didn’t see this part of his game but he had it!!!
All the tools to succeed at United.
Just wrong time and rotten luck..
For both player and club…
Happy to see him called up…
I’m intrigued by this England squad..
Very interesting/exciting stuff..
Fingers crossed 🤞 😂
I would love him back at United but he should only come back if ETH is fired. ETH will miss the Top 4 this year and his defenders will still defend him.
Let’s calm down. Was not and never will be good enough for United but for international football against poor competition may succeed.
Future England midfield: Gomes, Garner, Mainoo
His contract is up at end of the season will be a free
Whilst I loved him as a player, we held on to Mata for too long and blocked Angel. Yet it was so obvious that Angel could thrive in the PL because of Mata. They are the exact same height and build. Another example of a wasted talent because he didn't look good on the balance sheet. Yet we continued to pay Mata 175k a week to block his progress.

Wat age is he now ? 25?
Just turned 24
Ever saw the video with him and the African pastor. Guess it worked lmao
Nigerian pastor Joshua I think
We need five or six world class players to win anything and you’re talking about him?
Why do you never show clips of players? Would you have to pay to show clips?
Angel on a free to replace eriksen 🤔🤔
Not a bad shout.
United be mad not too , also free up funds to get a big physical midfielder
This just proves that Pogba went to the wrong witch Dr
He couldn't make it to the first team permanently because manchester united has been a mess since sir ferguson left. It has been a struggling team all through. He had no one to guide him and take him up in the team because it's always be headlines in the club.
Is Angel strong mentally? Both Sancho and Pogba lack this quality which is why they failed in P.L. todate
I mean he's alright.
