3 Manchester United youngsters who could be the next big thing

#2 Angel Gomes

Angel Gomes has represented England's various age-groups from u16 to under-19 level. Also a part of the u17 side who won the World Cup in India last summer, he - just like Mason - travelled with the senior side during their pre-season US tour.

Gomes has already made two brief first-team appearances - replacing Wayne Rooney to become the first player born this century to play in the Premier League. He also featured briefly during United's 4-0 FA Cup win over Yeovil last season.

His fantastic ability on the ball and impressive vision more than compensate for his small physical stature. He has already scored four and created two assists in eight Premier League 2 fixtures this season and undoubtedly has the potential to become a household name in future.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
