Former Manchester United youth product Antony Elanga has named Angel Gomes as the most underrated player he has ever played with. Elanga, now 21, and Gomes, 23, came through United’s youth system together before Gomes left for Ligue 1 club Lille in 2020. Elanga, who joined Nottingham Forest last summer in a £15 million move, believes Gomes is exceptionally talented and versatile, showcasing his abilities as a No. 6, 8, and 10.

Despite United reportedly offering Gomes a new and improved contract under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the midfielder opted to leave for more first-team opportunities. Gomes made his United first-team debut in May 2017, becoming the first person born in the 21st century to play in the Premier League.

Fans have lamented Gomes’ departure, with some suggesting it was a mistake to let him go. Gomes has since thrived at Lille, delivering an impressive campaign this season with two goals and seven assists in 35 appearances across all competitions. Elanga’s praise for Gomes highlights the talent that United once had in their ranks, adding to the frustration of some supporters over the club’s failure to retain promising players.
