"Many Photos" - Man Utd’s youth shining in pre-season as academy players have either scored or assisted in every clash

MANCHESTER UNITED’S youth stars have been shining this pre-season – with academy players either scoring or assisting in every clash.

Angel Gomes, 18, scored a stunning solo goal and Andreas Pereira laid on the assist for Anthony Martial in the 2-1 win over Tottenham.

And that has been the story of the summer, with boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer waxing lyrical about his youngsters.

Mason Greenwood curled home a divine winner as Man Utd edged past Inter Milan 1-0 – as well as scoring in the 4-0 drubbing of Leeds.

The impressive forward is now in line for a bumper new contract, as he currently earns just £800 per week.

And James Garner also got on the score-sheet this pre-season, scoring the second in a 2-0 win over Perth Glory.

That means a youth player has either scored or assisted in EVERY game this summer, with two more games to go – against Kristiansund and AC Milan.

GREEN LIGHT

It bodes well ahead of what could be a huge season for United under Solskjaer – starting with a massive Premier League curtain-raiser against Chelsea.

And one youngster who could certainly be in with a shout of starting that game is Greenwood.

The 17-year-old wonderkid has impressed Solskjaer so far during their pre-season tour.

He only signed his first professional contract last October, but has shown promise ever since.

United expect to hand Greenwood the new and improved deal ahead of his 18th birthday in October.

DANCING WITH THE DEVILS

Who is Angel Gomes and is he playing against Cardiff?

An Old Trafford source said: “He isn’t on an awful lot but does get bonuses on top for each appearance.

“Ole wants him to focus on his football at the moment and he is doing a terrific job of that.”

Greenwood has been at United since the age of six and has progressed up through their academy ranks.

He now looks to be one of the most exciting young talents to come out of Old Trafford in a generation.
