England attacker Angel Gomes has recalled how iconic manager Jose Mourinho gave him the hairdryer treatment during their time at Manchester United.

Gomes, who currently plays for French side Lille, rose through the United academy before he was handed his Premier League debut at the tender age of 16 years and 263 days old by Mourinho.

Despite being handed his dream debut by the Portuguese tactician, the 21-year-old also recounted how an encounter with Mourinho left him in tears.

"I've never actually told this story before but one time, he took me to a cup game with the first team after I'd played with the U21s," Gomes told SportBIBLE.

"We were at the dinner table and he's come around speaking to everyone. He then looks at me and says, 'I am f*cked with you!'

"At the time he was having a laugh with everyone, so I thought he was joking with me. I asked why and he brought up my performance from the day before.

"He must have thought I'd played sh*t. I didn't think I played that badly but he's the big boss, so if he thought I'd played bad, I'd played bad.

"He was saying, 'You were doing this and doing that but you should have done this and that...' And this was in front of the whole squad as well. I'd had bollockings in my time but not from the big boss. I just wasn't expecting it. I was taken aback.

"He eventually finished shouting and carried on with what he was doing. I was stuck to my seat. Eventually, some of the lads came over and said, 'don't worry, just ignore him. He's trying to get a reaction from you. This is how he is.'

"I was only young so in my head, I was thinking, 'F*ck, he hates me.' I went back to my room and rang my dad. I was nearly crying."
