Man Utd whiz Angel Gomes cleared of serious knee injury

Manchester United expect Angel Gomes to be fit for next week's FA Youth Cup tie with Derby County.

His involvement looked in doubt when he was withdrawn with a knee injury in the first half of United's Under-19 win over CSKA Moscow on Tuesday, but academy director Nicky Butt has revealed it is not a serious problem.

"He got a knock on the knee," Butt told MUTV.

"I don't think it's too serious and it's just a case of okay, we won't risk it. He was feeling it a little bit and we had a lot of the players on the bench ready to come on and take his place. It's not worth risking it when that's the case."
