Former Man Utd youngster Angel Gomes has completed a move to Lille but will spend next season on loan with Portuguese club Boavista.
Gomes has signed a contract until 2025 with the Ligue 1 outfit after leaving Old Trafford in the summer.
The 19-year-old came through the academy at Old Trafford and became the youngest player since Duncan Edwards to feature for the first team in May 2017, aged just 16.

The attacking midfielder left Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad when his contract expired earlier this summer, having been at Manchester United since the age of six.
Gomes’ appearances for Man Utd were limited, making just 10 since his debut three years ago.
A number of clubs – including Chelsea – had been linked with the England Under-20 international, but the midfielder has decided on a move abroad.
Jones has been absent since football resumed after the coronavirus suspension through injury but was named in United’s 30-man squad for the Europa League final eight tournament in Germany.

However, the defender will not feature in the quarter-final against FC Copenhagen or beyond due to a knee issue that has seen him remain in Manchester.
“Phil has been following an individualised training programme during the post-lockdown period to optimise recovery from a knee problem,” United boss Solskjaer told the club website.
“It was a good opportunity as we had sufficient cover in defensive positions for the remaining Premier League games and he will continue to work with a fitness coach at the Aon Training Complex, while the squad are in Germany.”
Ethan Galbraith, Ethan Laird and 18-year-old defender Teden Mengi, who made his debut for Manchester United against LASK on Wednesday, are among those in the squad in Cologne.
Axel Tuanzebe and Luke Shaw were omitted from the updated Europa League squad due to season-ending injuries.
St. Cloud State University wrestling assistant coach Brady Wilson chats with John O. Peterson about the recent success at the 2013 NCAA Division II championships and SCSU’s 2012-13 season.
The Huskies captured first place in the NSIC, first place at the NCAA Division II Super Region 3, first place at the 2013 NWCA Division II National Duals and were the 2013 NCAA Division II runner-up. Individually, SCSU’s Shamus O’Grady won first place in the nation at 184-pounds at the NCAA championships.

The Gophers will finish third at the national tournament
Minnesota Wrestling boasts a tournament-high of eight All-Americans at the 2013 NCAA Championships as the event is nearing its end. This is the second year in a row the Gophers have topped the All-American numbers at the NCAAs.
Minnesota has locked in third place with 99 team points and is out of contention of winning of the team title. Penn State and Oklahoma State sit ahead with 114.5 and 111.5 team points, respectively. The national championship team will be determined by tonight’s final bouts. At fourth, Iowa sits a full 30 points behind the Gophers with 69 team points and Cornell sits closely behind with 61.
Four Gophers earned All-American honors for the first time in their careers; David Thorn, Nick Dardanes, Cody Yohn, and Scott Schiller.
David Thorn took seventh at 125 lbs. after being unseeded to begin the competition. He capped off a fantastic season in style, pinning No. 12 Tyler Cox (Wyoming) at the 1:17 mark in the match’s first round. Nick Dardanes outscored Zach Neibert (Virginia Tech), 9-5, to earn his seventh-place finish.
As the team’s only starting senior, Yohn closes out his career with a seventh-place finish at the NCAA championships. He defeated Virginia’s Nicholas Sulzer by a score of 8-5 to go out on a high note to loud cheers and congratulations from the Gopher crowd.
After being picked at No. 10, Schiller disputed his original seed by placing fifth at 197 lbs. After falling 11-3 to Oregon State’s Taylor Meeks (No. 5) in the consolation semifinals, Schiller rebounded to push past No. 6 Kyvon Gadson and win 6-2.
Chris Dardanes, Dylan Ness, Logan Storley each became two-time All-Americans by placing in the top eight of their brackets. Ness and Storley found themselves battling third place but both has to settle for fourth after tough losses. Ness dropped a 7-3 decision to Steve Santos of Columbia, while Storley lost a 3-1 sudden victory to fellow South Dakota native Robert Kokesh (Nebraska). Dardanes took sixth after a 0-2 day on the mat.
Three-time All-American heavyweight Tony Nelson is the last man standing for the Maroon and Gold. He will defend his 2012 National Championship Title against Northwestern’s Mike McMullan tonight.
The championship matches will be live on ESPN starting at 7 p.m. In an experimental new format, competition will begin at 174 lbs. and circle back around to end with a marquee match at 165 lbs.

There was a lot of talk earlier this summer after TNA did their “Final Deletion” match with Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy from Matt’s “compound” in North Carolina. A week later, WWE held a similar brawl between The Wyatt Family and WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day at what they called The Wyatt Family compound. Many agreed that WWE blatantly copied TNA.
TNA’s Jeremy Borash appeared on Wrestling Observer Live this week and said he watched WWE’s segment with a smile on his face the entire time. Host Bryan Alvarez continued talking about the two matches and Borash added:
“Well I can’t divulge what I actually know, but you’re dead-on and the fact it was done, I actually know who suggested it and who got it on, who made it. If you compare the numbers in terms of budget and effectiveness or whatever, I’ll just say I watched it with a smile on my face the entire time.”

Three weeks since beginning rehab on his shoulder injury, Finn Balor says it’s felt like a lifetime. WWE posted the video seen above with Balor at the WWE Performance Center and says he’s just under 5 months away from returning, hopefully in time for WrestleMania 33.
Balor says he went back home to Orlando and was left to his own thoughts, and coming to terms with losing the WWE Universal Title with everything else that happened in Brooklyn was a process. Balor says that process was made a lot easier by the genuinely humbling outpouring of support from family, friends and most importantly, the WWE fans. Balor believes the support is really pushing him forward in his recovery.
Balor thanks the fans and says at the three week point, rehab is going well as he works at it 5 days per week. Balor is scheduled to return to Birmingham, Alabama next week for a week of therapy where he had the surgery, and he hope to see the surgeon again. He also mentions stopping by SmackDown when they’re in town to visit everyone.
