It really hope it’s not gradual at all.Does seem like Mata’s heir apparent. I would imagine the transition will be gradual though. It won’t happen overnight.

Thought that. Looks miles better than our other options there.Tweet

It will be, though. That's the way these things work. For every single young player, bar a tiny handful of the best players ever to play the game. When Raheem Sterling was at the same age/point in his career, he had just made 3 league appearances for Liverpool (exact same number as Gomes right now). He made 24 appearances in the league the following season, so hopefully Gomes' career will follow the same trajectory.It really hope it’s not gradual at all.
Yep. I could see Gomes getting 25 or so games this season. Hopefully a new contract as well.It will be, though. That's the way these things work.

Because we need more than one player for each position.Why I wanted Mata gone. Why should they be sharing minutes? Imagine we lose this kid?
I know but I don't think Mata will be a starter. He's only going to cut into his possible minutes.Because we need more than one player for each position.
No, it is not how things are done at United. He is too young and talented to have a new contract.Angel should already have had his contract renewed. Its incredible to think within six months he will be able to openly negotiate with other teams.
What an idiotic post.No, it is not how things are done at United. He is too young and talented to have a new contract.
To earn a contract you need to be either be in the twilights years, no team wants you, and make consistent mistakes for Manutd.
Weird how Mata can get a new contract sorted over the summber but not Gomes.
That's Lingard's position too. His competition will be Lingard, Mata and Pereira.Because we need more than one player for each position.
Excellent performance from the lad, looked a class above. His control and awareness was very very good.Tweet

Ok well Mata had 22 appearances in the league last season. So if Gomes is to even come close to Sterling’s 24 he needs to replace Mata in the first team pretty quickly, otherwise we are looking at 10 appearances tops.It will be, though.

Thanks clearly upset youWhat an idiotic post.
Four players competing for two positions. Nothing wrong with that. And none of these players are world beaters, which will make it even easier for Gomes to get opportunities.That's Lingard's position too. His competition will be Lingard, Mata and Pereira.
Mata should have been let go.
Gomes was offered a contract. The rest of your post is just gormless whataboutery.Thanks clearly upset you
I take it you can explain why Martial, Jones, Smalling, Young, Mata, Perreira all given contracts with bumper wages but Gomes hasnt? Herrera didnt get one. Are we waiting for Sept/ Nov after he has had a handful of good games and give him £150k a week? when you can give him assurances and signed up for cheaper now?
Herrera turned down a contract offer. Sure, we should have extended him sooner but we made several good offers to him last season but he had decided to go and never seriously wanted to negotiate. For the other players you have mentioned, they all have been part of the first team for at least a season or more, Gomes has not. If you want a comparison then look at McTominay, he broke through last year and got a new deal within weeks. If Gomes is featuring in match day squads over the next few months I guarantee he will have a new deal on the table before Christmas.Thanks clearly upset you

The fact stands that Mata should not have been offered a new contract at this club. What purpose does mata fulfill aside taking up the position of another tougher talent who's going to be delayed a breakthrough.Gomes was offered a contract. The rest of your post is just gormless whataboutery.
What are you on about? It’s not a fact. It’s an opinion.The fact stands that Mata should not have been offered a new contract at this club. What purpose does mata fulfill aside taking up the position of another tougher talent who's going to be delayed a breakthrough.
You would have thought this club would learn from the Pogba / Rafael / Scholes situation. Terrible decisions being made and mismanagement.

I noticed that too, seems desperate to get involved. Coasting a little bit in games was a small criticism I had of him the youth teams.He has worked incredibly hard this summer and is eager to impress. He'll definitely sign a contract and jump ahead of Mata and Lingard when he does. Never seen him play with such tenacity and aggression, he has probably been told to work on it and it makes a lot of sense for him to do so. All of the smaller most successful midfielders like Xavi, Iniesta, Silva, Verratti etc. become better when they added that. A player like Mata who couldn't do it suffered from it, and continued to be disregarded in their national team despite being technically on par with the best.
Sign Gomes on and I'm not that bothered honestly about getting a lot of midfielders in this window.
Because this club can be really dumb, I sincerely hope Ole knows what he was doing with that extension as it would be a real kick in the guts to lose this kid as a result.Why I wanted Mata gone. Why should they be sharing minutes? Imagine we lose this kid?
Me too, so I was very happy to see that. Makes me all the more confident in him making it here.I noticed that too, seems desperate to get involved. Coasting a little bit in games was a small criticism I had of him the youth teams.
Based on the foundations of facts, if you don't give bright prospects chances they will leave exemplified with the recent escapades of Sancho and Hudson-Odoi facts. It's a fact we lost Pogba because we played fullbacks in his position and an ageing player. It's a fact that history will repeat itself under these circumstances if Gomes doesn't get game time, he will leave for the development of his career. If Mata occupies the same position that Gomes will play under Solskjaers system, then it's a fact he will restrict his opportunities.What are you on about? It’s not a fact. It’s an opinion.
You talk as if the management isn't trying at all.Thanks clearly upset you

Stop with all the height stuff!I love this player. I hope we extend him pronto
