Man Utd optimistic on Gomes contract despite ‘dispute’ & Butt has ‘massive hopes’ for winger

The ex-Red Devils star, who is now head of first-team development, holds a teenage forward in high regard and hopes his future will be at Old Trafford

Angel Gomes can be “one hell of a player” for Manchester United, says Nicky Butt, with those at Old Trafford hoping that a solution can be found in an ongoing contract “dispute”.

A highly-rated 19-year-old academy graduate is yet to commit his long-term future to the Red Devils.

Gomes’ current deal is due to expire in the summer, meaning that he will be free to discuss a move elsewhere and leave United with little reward when it comes to financial compensation.
