Gundogan joined the Nomads Academy just over two years ago and was selected for the North Wales development squad who took on United away from home at the start of 2017.

The youngster put on an impressive display scoring four times against United and became the 29th academy player to be signed by a professional club from Quay Nomads in the last seven years.

Gundogan has been handed a full-time contract with United’s academy.

Nomads director of football Jay Catton praised the youngster who he described as being capable of playing upfront or as an attacking midfielder.

“[He’s] a very gifted player who is comfortable up front or in attacking midfield” he was quoted as saying by the Chester Chronicle.

“Levent’s attitude and commitment to training and the club have been first-class and we wish him all the best during his time at Manchester United.

“Levent is a great example of the pathway for players in the FAW Academy system and the opportunities that are available to players to move to a higher level.”

Gundogan is of Turkish descent and eligible to represent Turkey at youth as well as senior international level.
