Man Utd’s Lingard and Gomes reveal how they are keeping fit
Manchester United ace Angel Gomes is unlikely to sign a new contract with the club unless Ole Gunnar Solskjaer guarantees him more playing time. Gomes' deal at United expires at the end of the month and Solskjaer doesn't yet know if the attacking midfielder is going to sign an extension.

The Norwegian boss is hoping that the 19-year-old will extend his stay at Old Trafford but is also prepared to lose him if he decides against putting pen to paper.
According to Goal, Gomes' final decision will heavily rely on the opportunities he is going to receive in the near future with the Red Devils.
Solskjaer said: "With Angel, he's a top kid we've had at the club for so many years, we've offered him a deal and hopefully he'll take that and if not I wish him all the best.

"From what I understand it's not too far away, if not we'll wish him all the best."
Solskjaer, though, remains focused on tonight's crucial clash against Tottenham as United are putting together a late bid for a top-four finish in the Premier League table.
The club legend has a fully fit squad to pick from, with the exceptions of Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe, and has hinted that he may start Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba, who are coming back from injury.
Rashford has received mass praise around the country after he caused a major government U-turn with his campaign to have free school meal vouchers extended into the school holidays.
Solskjaer added: "If selected, Marcus and Paul have been out for a long, long period.
"They're available but how long they're going to play for, let's see.
"It’s an honour to have Marcus and what he’s done during this lockdown... he’s been unbelievable, when he can help so many people that need it; so many kids. He’s taken from his own experience when he was a kid.
"I know how much it means for the kids and we, as a club, are immensely proud of him.
"He’s obviously a top footballer but he’s also a fantastic human being - a future leader, a future captain, maybe, of England, Man United, who knows?
"He’s already captained the team at the age of 22-23. We’re really proud of him and his family must be so proud as well of what he has achieved."
