True but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be. Pre Season shows he has more to offer than Mata. STronger Quicker etc etc

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Think he'll at least make the bench for Palace at home.
I’ll stop you there...
One thing I’m a bit confused about is why he missed the U23 match if he wasn’t going to even make the bench today. Anyone got any ideas?
I'm not even on the Gomes hype train, he hasn't played any senior competitive football yet, but I'd like to see him on the bench over Mata who offers the square root of feck all these days, we might as well give him a try.
Hes has a little, not a full 90 but hes played for the first team in a couple of games for limited minutes
His time will come. Ole obviously has no qualms about fielding youth - I doubt he's keeping him out for reasons other than his ability to contribute more than players in the selected squad. Seems more plausabile he will be selected in easy home games or cup games intiially.
Wasn't one a cup game? and I doubt combined it was more than 20 minutes of game time, but as I said I'd still give him the chance over Mata who is past it.
im guessing he's the next one down for the bench if Mata or Pereira got a knock.
3 games in the league and yes not many minutes just wanted to point out that hes played
We fully deserve to lose him next summer . Absolute joke that he cant even get on the bench when we have no one else capable of doing anything different or creating something out of nothing when we are in a tight game
Lingard 
Mata

Needs to be introduced to the first team in the league asap. Feck waiting for the EL or the cups. We are in desperate need of some creativity and technique.
Oh for God's sake! Not this thread again. I hope this guy fails purely due to this thread.
What a bizarre thing to say.
I'd like to know this too, either get him involved with the first team properly, loan him, or play him in the U23's, he's currently in no mans land and it's the worst thing that could be happening to him.
Could have done with him from the bench today. He wouldnt be any worse than Mata or Lingard. I dont get why we are holding him back, we were screaming for ideas and unpredictability. Unleash him
He'll be on the bench in the next game. Mata offers nothing.
You're a child
We're all children of God.
He would have been able to do Mata his job.. for less money too i imagine.
Bad passing, bad crossing and not so great corners. Im sure Gomes can do that too.

If I was Gomes and watch absolute dross in Lingard playing 80 minutes after being shit in the last game, then Juan Mata comes on and can’t take a corner properly, I’d want to leave. I mean what in the absolute feck are those 2 offerings that Angel can’t?
What an absolute shit thing to say.
experience and reputation, which means feck all currently. I guess with Shaw and McTominay, we just dont have better alternatives. But for Lingard and Mata, we have.
Well, stop hyping up a player who's played 5 minutes of senior football then. It's as if Barca had benched Messi by the sound of this thread.
I'm not doubting he can add value to the team though, some of you need to learn moderation however.
Oh we do, they are just not as shit as Lingard.
The one that needs to learn moderation is you. You're wishing that a young player fails because of random people on the internet. You wish Manchester United fail because of people hoping he gets a chance. How are you a United fan if you want a United player to fail?
If you don’t have the self awareness to recognize how silly that comment was, then why bother with mental gymnastics and still chat about Angel Gomes?
Regretable choice of words but the hype is silly too nonetheless.
Clown
Have a sneaking feeling he might start. I hope so too.
Fair enough he wasn’t in the squad for Chelsea and wolves really
Can he take corners and free kicks?
He is going to get chances when the schedule picks up after the break... 6 europa games midweek, and if he does as well as fans seem certain of in typically easier games im sure he will play over the christmas period when we have all those games. I don't see the need to hit the panic button yet, the schedule is very very light right now and gets very very heavy and we have such a thin squad
I am a bit surprised that nobody asking Ole about him, they could have a field day with asking a question and making stuff after based on answer.
You're a disgrace. I'll vouch that in games like today (one's we dominate) he'd have created so much more than James or Lingard. No one is Messi but Messi but Gomes showed in preseason that he was our most Barca player (irony). The lad would have had a field day today and he almost certainly would have helped us win the game. I like Lingard but he is Park to Gomes' Rooney.
Not a fan of his corners, but I like his freekicks that he tries to score.
Thought he could have made a difference if he had come on, but unfortunately, not on the bench.Wolves always most certainly is not the perfect time to make your full debut
Christ some of the posts on this place
Why not play him in under 23s, Chong too, they have had no games now for a while so when they finally get a chance they will be well off the pace, perform bad and then not be seen again for months. Some of the players stealing a living at this club do not not provide anything better than these kids could.
They seem to only ask about Pogba.
Every game he goes further up the pecking order.
In sept when there are more games he'll get his chance for sure. His competition are shooting themselves in the foot.

It's a joke how some of the players are getting minutes ahead of him.
