Gomes is one of the brightest prospects to emerge from Manchester United academy, which he joined aged six.

The 17-year-old made his first-team debut for the club on the last day when he came on against Crystal Palace.

And in the summer, Gomes captained the England under-17 side as they won the World Cup.

Gomes said: “Manchester United has always been a big part of my life.  I have been with the club since the age of six and it was a proud moment for me when I made my first team debut. 

“This club is renowned for giving home grown players opportunities to progress into the first team and that was a major factor in me signing my first professional contract at this great club.

"I am still young but am looking forward to continuing my development with the help of the coaching staff and I will take every opportunity that comes my way.

“I’ve worked with a lot of great coaches coming up [through the ranks] so far. I’ve had a chance to work with Nicky [Butt] and working with coaches like him helps you a lot because as you’re growing up you’re feeding off what they used to do and the trophies they won. It’s been a great journey so far.

“My hope for this season is to try to get as much football as I can. Whether it’s with the 18s, the 23s and hopefully the first team – I want to pushing on and showing the manager what I can do.

"I got the chance to do that last season in the last [league] game of the season and the feeling was amazing. I hope I can have many more feelings like that.

Jose Mourinho added: “I am delighted that Angel has signed his first professional contract with the club.  

“I gave him his first-team debut at the end of last season which made him not only the youngest Manchester United player to play in the Premier League era but also the youngest player to represent Manchester United since Duncan Edwards in 1953."
