Angel Gomes does not turn 16 until August 31 and, while it is unlikely he will break David Gaskell's record as the youngest Manchester United first-teamer, don't be surprised if he earns his first-team promotion over the next year.

A quick search on YouTube will unearth some wondrous goals and Gomes posted the latest on Instagram at the weekend.

The forward scored a stunning strike for England Under-16s against Brazil on Friday, curling a right-footed effort in off the post to give the young Lions the lead. England lost the game 3-1 but Gomes had provided another example of his talent.

Gomes is a truly sensational prospect. United academy coach Clayton Blackmore reckons he 'could play tomorrow', which might be slightly optimistic, but Gomes boasts enviable technique and ability and made his YouTube debut aged six.

Despite his young age, Gomes has already caught the attention of one former United player. Nani has trumpeted him on social media and the youngster was pictured with Cristiano Ronaldo when he was so small his head was resting against the United great’s hip. Portuguese-born, his father Gil used to play for Salford City.

Gomes was named best player in the Internationales U15 Turnier in 2014 and scored this outrageous solo goal .

Last year, he won player of the tournament at the Premier Cup.
