Angel Gomes has hinted he wants to reject overseas overtures by staying at Manchester United.

The 18-year-old was on the fringes of the first team this season and managed two appearances from the bench under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Barcelona reportedly have an interest in the midfielder, but Gomes wants to emulate teammate Jesse Lingard by remaining patient for his chance at Old Trafford.

Asked about following in the footsteps of compatriot Jadon Sancho by playing abroad, Gomes told SoccerBible: "A lot of players who have done it have seen it pay off, but, realistically, everyone is different and everyone has their own timings as to when they might break through.

"Jesse Lingard is a good example of that. He broke through a little later than some of the other players from his age group but look what he's achieved now. It's massive.

"Jadon Sancho is another one. We've played together for England for a while and he's taken that step because he felt he was ready for the demands of first-team football, and he's shown everyone what he can do.

"It's all about timing and, for me, wherever my career goes, I want to be ready to play when the opportunity arises at Man United."
