Man Utd U23 coach Sbragia delighted with Angel Gomes progress

Manchester United U23 coach Ricky Sbragia is pleased with the progress of Angel Gomes this season.

Gomes, who is currently on England Under-19s duty, has adapted to a deeper central role of late.

“I think we started Angel wide left," Sbragia told manutd.com.

“Where I thought he could float. After the Stoke game, I think, I decided to see how he would do in the middle. I asked him and he was okay about that and I thought he's played extremely well since then. He's kicked on and matured. He plays the position extremely well and what surprised me a little bit was his work ethic is really good off the ball. He's helped the two sitters [in midfield] which, again, is important for us as well."
