       Angel Gomes has completed a move to Lille after leaving
       Manchester United, the French club announced on Sunday.
       Gomes, 19, left Old Trafford after his contract expired on July
       1 and has signed a five-year deal with the Ligue 1 side on a
       free transfer.
       Lille also said the midfielder will spend the 2020-21 campaign
       on loan with Portuguese outfit Boavista. "We are very happy to
       welcome Angel Gomes who comes free from Manchester United,"
       Lille CEO Marc Ingla said in a statement. "Angel represents one
       of the greatest international prospects in his position.
       "He is a very intelligent player in his decision making,
       technical, agile, but also endowed with strong leadership
       abilities, as shown by captaining England's under-20 side.
       "He is still young but has immense talent and potential. We are
       very happy to have convinced him to join LOSC."
       United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had been hopeful that Gomes
       would extend his deal at the club but despite interest from
       Chelsea and Barcelona, he has decided to continue his career in
       France.
       Gomes made 10 senior appearances at United since making his
       debut on the final day of the 2016-17 season as a 16-year-old.
       He was part of the England under-17 squad which won the World
       Cup in 2017 alongside Phil Foden and Jadon Sancho and was named
       United's young player of the year in 2017, 12 months after
       Marcus Rashford collected the same award.
