Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has taken to his social media to praise former academy starlet Angel Gomes after he scored a penalty in Boavista’s 3-0 win over Benfica yesterday.

Gomes, 20, left United’s youth academy earlier this year after the midfielder opted against signing a new deal.

Whilst in action last night for Portuguese side Boavista, Gomes scored a penalty against Benfica and current United midfielder Fernandes was quick to praise the youngster.
