Roy Keane Left Speechless by Former Manchester United Star's Jaw-Dropping Assist for England

Roy Keane is not a man known for lavishing praise on players, but the former Manchester United captain was left extolling the virtues of ex-Red Devils starlet Angel Gomes after his scintillating assist for England against Finland.

The 22-year-old, who currently plies his trade with Lille, demonstrated his 'pure quality' with a sublime pass that split three Finnish defenders open, allowing Jack Grealish to slot the ball into the bottom corner with ease.

The Manchester City forward was the grateful recipient of Gomes' vision, and the England coaching staff will be delighted with the creative spark brought to the table by the young playmaker. Keane, working as a pundit for ITV, was visibly impressed by Gomes' passing range and vision, and heaped praise on the youngster.

'That's pure quality,' Keane exclaimed, 'the weight of the pass, the vision, and most importantly, the execution.' The Irishman knows a thing or two about the qualities required to succeed at the highest level, and his endorsement of Gomes is a testament to the player's undoubted ability.

Gomes, who was highly touted during his time at Manchester United, has continued to develop his skills with Lille, and his display against Finland will have done his international prospects no harm whatsoever. As England look to build a strong squad ahead of future tournaments, the door may be ajar for Gomes to cement a regular starting berth.

Keane's glowing assessment of Gomes is not an isolated incident, as the player has been steadily making waves in Ligue 1 with his impressive performances. His creativity and vision on the pitch are undoubted assets to any team, and England will be hoping that he can continue to produce the goods on the international stage.

As for Grealish, the Manchester City forward will be delighted to have found the back of the net, and his partnership with Gomes could be an exciting one to watch in the coming months. With the likes of Gomes and Grealish in their ranks, England's attacking options are certainly looking bright.
