Angel Gomes is reportedly eyeing a move abroad after walking out on Manchester United
According to Manchester Evening News, Gomes has received plenty of offers in Europe but is yet to decide which is the best to take.
It comes after Chelsea boss Frank Lampard ruled himself out of making a move for the attacking midfielder, following rumours the Blues were prepared to make the player an offer.
Lampard said: “I can elaborate to the point that it’s never been mentioned at my end.”
Gomes is one of ten United players that departed the club on Wednesday after rejecting a reported £25,000 a week plus bonuses deal to remain at Old Trafford.
He has been restricted to just six first-team appearances this season, and United bosses are said to have felt the starlet became distracted over his future.
The lack of opportunity for the teen, viewed as one of the brightest prospects to emerge through United’s academy in years, convinced him to leave.
Gomes had been at Old Trafford since he was six and he became the the youngest player since Duncan Edwards to make his senior debut for the club.
He went on to make 10 appearances in total, with his three starts coming this season in the Europa League.
His final game for United was in the 4-0 home win over Norwich in January.
The attacker was also the youngest winner of United’s prestigious Jimmy Murphy youth player award in 2017, at the age of 15 years 362 days, after scoring 12 goals in 19 appearances for the U18s.
