Manchester United’s failure to secure an attacking midfielder has come back to haunt them this season. At the start of the season, when Solskjaer opted for Jesse Lingard in the No. 10 role, the Red Devils appeared lacklustre in attack and their moves were predictable. After the Norwegian replaced the Englishman with Juan Mata, things have looked a bit better, but the Spaniard might not be the perfect fit for the No. 10 role. This is because Mata no longer has the legs to sustain Solskjaer’s heavy pressing football. Enter, Angel Gomes.

The youngster was impressive against Astana in midweek, working well with his midfield and frontline. He was quite active in the final third, using the ball very well and also switching play to bring the full-backs into the game. Gomes’ quick feet also won United quite a few free-kicks in dangerous areas and the teenager deserves more game time in this team. Solskjaer could at least use him off the bench against West Ham United.
