Barcelona eye United youngster

According to the 'Daily Mail' Barcelona are closely monitoring the youngster and the Catalan club are closely monitoring the attacking midfielder.

Gomes is thought to be highly skilful and creative, but there are concerns over the 16-year-old's size.

The young midfielder has excelled for United's junior teams, has played for a number of England's age groups and is the captain of England U-17s.

Manchester United think highly of the midfielder, however, and will not let the young prodigy go without a fight.
