Man Utd fans call for 18-year-old to get first team call up

It was a good night for the senior team, as they came from behind to register a vital 2-1 win in Turin against Cristiano Ronaldo-led Juventus.

However, one of United's most impressive figures was taking part in the UEFA Youth League match between the two clubs before things had got underway at the Allianz Stadium.

Angel Gomes will not be an unfamiliar name to Man Utd fans, having made his Premier League debut at the age of just 16, but his promotion to the first-team squad on a regular basis could be on the horizon.

The England U-17 international was the star of the show against Juventus' youth team, as he ran the game from midfield.

After videos emerged of his performance, several United fans took to social media to call for his inclusion in the first team: "God only knows how he ain't knocking on the door of the first team," one fan wrote, while others called him a 'little maestro' and 'reminiscent of scholesy'.
