Manchester United midfielder Angel Gomes has revealed he wants to stay at the club despite reports linking him with a summer move to Chelsea.
Gomes is out of contract at the end of the season and is yet to agree a new deal at Old Trafford despite being highly rated inside the club.
With his deal set to expire, Chelsea are reportedly ready to try and tempt him with an offer but he insists he still sees his future in the red of United.
‘I’ve seen it over the years, coming up from the academy and being at United my whole career,’ said Gomes during a Google Hangout on the club's official website.
‘It’s what I want to go on to do – win trophies for the club.’
According to The Metro, United have offered Gomes a £25,000 per week deal, but his representatives are concerned at his lack of playing time.
Mason Greenwood and Brandon Williams have both been given considerably more appearances in the first team and Gomes is desperate to follow suit.
United believe Gomes' lack of physical stature - he stands at just five-foot-four inches tall - mean he could breakthrough at 24 in a similar manner to Jesse Lingard.
His hesitation in putting pen to paper has sparked interest from Chelsea, who have displayed their own willingness to put their faith in youth.
This season, Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori and Billy Gilmour have all broken in to the starting XI under Frank Lampard.
The Blues hope that commitment to blooding youth and the appeal of Lampard at the helm could persuade Gomes to move to London.
But United remain keen to hold on to the attacking midfielder, who captained England under-19s to World Cup success in 2018 and are hopeful he will pen fresh terms.

So basically they judge him based on height not to even let him play cup games? United are seriously messed up if that's true. Even if hes fairly small, he deserves a chance regardless.

He's still better than some of our first team players the likes of Jessie lingard and Andreas Pereira and still better than Chong but Chong gets more chances than Angel

gomes plse leave coz you are not world class. also your size and stature is not suited to the athletic epl.
gomes is a worldclass player. if he goes to Dortmund now you will bet for manu to buy him for 86m£ have you watch him play, he plays more like mata but have some other attribute. the best is to give him contract then loan him either to ajax or Dortmund. next season you start celebrating him. Gomes is not over hyped like other English players. did you even watch him in the u19 world cup. that guy is a killer dude.

messi is strongly built and he is 5ft 8. so he much taller amd stronger than the diminutive angel gomes
Angel Gomes is a jewel & is capable of causing Sancho type of havoc. All he needs is time and play in positions best suited to him. Angel Gomes to me is priceless and will be a big regret to Manchester United should he leave. the young man has got immense talent

Messi was also rejected by clubs because he was a miniature. Look where he is today..?

you're off your rockers. Angel Gomes is world class & way better than most of the starters including Mata
i dont agree. there much better players than gomes whom man utd can buy. gomes will only be a bench warmer at man utd with the arrival of sancho and grealish. so its better for him to leave.
