Angel Gomes is one of four uncapped players in contention to appear for England this weekend when they take on the Republic of Ireland.

The former Manchester United midfielder, currently playing for Lille in France, was named in Lee Carsley's squad last week for this month's international break for the first time in his career.

His time in the spotlight has sparked many wondering what happened when he was at United and how the club allowed a player of his talent leave.
