Released Manchester United winger Indy Boonen is backing Angel Gomes for big things.

The pair played together for the United U18s last season.

Boonen, now with KV Oostense, told the Manchester Evening News: "I really liked playing with Angel and training with him.

"We could find each other on the pitch easily and knew when we were close to eachother. I'm sad not to be playing with him anymore. He will have a good career for sure.

"His technical ability and his eye for a player...he knows where everyone is on the field. And he is so normal. A lot of young players are not like that when they have had opportunities like he has."
