Gomes was not short of inspirations growing up. His father Gil represented Portugal at under-21s level and his godfather Nani enjoyed a glittering career with the likes of Manchester United, Sporting Lisbon and Portugal.
Moreover, Gomes followed in the footsteps of Nani, who he has described as one of his biggest role models, when he joined the Red Devils' youth set-up aged just six.
His first team debut arrived in May 2017 when he was introduced as a late substitute during a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
Aged just 16 years and 263 days, Gomes became the youngest player to represent United since the late great Duncan Edwards in 1953.
