Angel Gomes Reveals Childhood Idol at Manchester United After Surprise England Call-Up
Angel Gomes, the newly recruited England international, has shared that his idol during his time at Manchester United was Nani.
Gomes, who was recently named in Lee Carsley’s England squad alongside players like Noni Madueke and Tino Livramento, revealed his admiration for Nani, recalling how he used to practice Nani’s backflips on a trampoline and how Nani would invite him and his brother over to play football and practice their skills.
Despite a promising start at Manchester United, Gomes struggled to secure a regular spot in the first team, making only five Premier League appearances.
Now 24, he has moved on but continues to reflect fondly on his time with United and his idolization of Nani, who was known for his flair and powerful shooting during his stint at the club from 2007-2015.
In the wake of Gomes’ inclusion in the England squad, Carsley praised his technical abilities and determination, highlighting Gomes’ skill in controlling the game and his positive attitude.
Carsley expressed excitement about what Gomes will bring to the England setup, noting his passion for football and his potential impact on the team.
