Barcelona are just as concerned with height as anyone. They injected Messi with hormones to make him taller than Gomes is.
Angel Gomes (United confirm departure)

Yes, a long time ago in an era where we'd have just released him for being small
I think this whole thing is down to confidence. Moving Lille and then being loaned to Portugal shows that maybe he didn't have the confidence to face the pressure being a Man Utd player. He could have renewed with us on the condition of a loan away to a Portuguese side.
I'm hoping that it works out for him. He seems like a decent lad and I hope he has a great career.

Wish him all the best at Lille, shame we never got to see what the hype was about.
I bet he won't play a single game for Lille.
What do you predict for his career then
Do well in Turkey and a transfer to a Prem club.
In Portugal? If he does well maybe Barcelona will give him a chance... I would be happy for him then.
Really don't think he's that invested in Barcelona's B-team. Could be wrong.
Hope he does well..
Shit yes, thought he'd gone to Besiktas!
Messi had a medical condition that required treatment with hormones, treatment Barca agreed to pay for if he moved there. Not 'injecting him with hormones because they thought he was too short'.
Very odd career move.
For someone so hyped i thought Lille wasnt a good move, but being loaned to such a poor Portugese team just seems bizarre.
Think he's been very poorly advised - surely his future was here with how we treat youngsters and Lingard/Mata looking likely to leave within the next season or so.

Want him to do well.
He was never good enough from the game given at his time here. Never saw the fuss about him leaving tbh. This is not pogba 2.0
Gomes is one of the most talented players I've seen in the academy, but although he had a couple of good cameos in first team matches, to me he was never given a proper chance. With Boavista, he will certainly get some opportunities to show what he can do, and who knows where he will go in his career, I wish him well.
I'm a bit worried for him.
Didnt Jonathan David move to Lille? I feel that they both play in very similar positions?

He is on loan for the season and David is more or a striker/wide forward, they just sold their main striker.
He looks class. Do we have some sort of buy back or is he just gone completely?
He left on a free.
The level of play is obviously lower, but he showed his class and composure in that video. Hope he continues to develop - he would be awesome to watch if he can translate that potential to consistent performance at the highest level.
Would be interesting to see how he does against the best teams in the league like Sporting, Porto and Benfica.
He’s clearly a good, technical player, and has a good enough footballing brain. I would have promised Lingard minutes to him if I were Ole. He would link up well with Bruno, Martial, Rashford and Greenwood I feel.
Will be keenly following his career in the near future as I’ve always hoped that he would make it here at United

If he can steer away from injuries, he will have a good career.
He is a talented player. We should have given him more minutes last season. I know people give "reasons" why he was not. But he should have been. Its one thing I'm a bit critical about with Ole.
I think we may end up regretting it in the future.

Seemed to be playing quite deep. Good move for him, he needs to play week in week out and get physically stronger, both in terms of muscle and stamina. Happy for the lad, displayed some nice touches
He had an excellent debut. Nice movement and vision.
Good move for him. It hurts seeing him in some other team but he needs first team football and this wouldn't have been possible in English league. Hopefully he will come back to us
The new Bruno Fernandes
Also, perhaps he knew we were going to sign a new CM/AM this summer and that was part of his decision? He barely got a kick before DVB and now he comes in

Please start a new thread in the FF to discuss his performance.
