Manchester United starlet Angel Gomes has sought to model his game on Cristiano Ronaldo and Andres Iniesta, with Ronaldinho, Carlos Tevez, Robinho and Nani also providing inspiration for the promising winger.
At 19 years of age, an Old Trafford academy product remains very much on a steep learning curve of his own. He has been held up as a hot prospect for some time, with the Red Devils expecting him to burst onto a senior stage much like those who provided inspiration in his younger years.
That breakthrough has not really happened as yet, with Gomes restricted to only 10 senior appearances for United, and he is holding out on committing to a new contract as a result.
