MANCHESTER UNITED wonderkid Angel Gomes netted a superb free-kick today to leave fans drooling.

The whizkid netted the second as the Under-19s beat CASK Moscow 2-1 in the Uefa Youth league.

Aidan Barlow was also on target as United's kids maintained their 100 per cent record.

Teen sensation Gomes - who was handed his senior debut by Jose Mourinho last season - is regarded as one of the club's brightest academy products in years.

Earlier this week, the London-born ace, 17, was called up to the England Under-17s for the trip to India.

But he is also eligible to represent Portugal like cousin Nani, or Angola through his father.

It is most likely that he will remain with the Three Lions, though, as he has come through the ranks.

Gomes' United future is up in the air, however, after he stalled on signing a new deal.

The Barcelona target was set to pen his first professional contract on his seventeenth birthday last month.

This afternoon Barlow broke the deadlock after eight minutes after being teed-up by Indy Boonen.

And Gomes added a second with an inch-perfect set-piece after Joshua Bohui was adjudged to have been fouled.

The hosts pulled one back through substitute Dmitrii Merenchukov after 90 minutes but did not have time for a leveller.

United's seniors are in action against the same opponents tonight looking to build on a 3-0 win in their first game back in the Champions League.
