Gomes has returned to training at Carrington since the coronavirus lockdown restrictions were lifted but, at things stand, will leave the club on June 30 when his deal expires.

The 19-year-old forward, who has made 10 senior appearances including six this season, has been linked with a move to Chelsea but Solskjaer believes he is set to stay.

"Angel is a top, top kid who we've had in the club for so many years," Solskjaer told a news conference on Thursday.

"We've offered him a deal. Hopefully he'll take that but if not I'll wish him all the best. From what I understand, it's not too far away. If not, we'll wish him all the best."

After three months without a competitive game, United will restart their Premier League campaign with a trip to Tottenham on Friday night.

Solskjaer will be without injured duo Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe but Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba are both available after long lay-offs.

Rashford hasn't played since January because of a back injury while Pogba hasn't featured since Boxing Day after undergoing ankle surgery.

United face four games in 12 days after the resumption and Solskjaer admits he will have to be cautious about the players' fitness.

"Of course, Marcus and Paul have been out for a long, long period," Solskjaer added.

"They're available, but how long they're going to play for, let's see.

"We have to look after the players. They haven't played for a long period. The Premier League is intense and they're going to go straight into a season afterwards as well. "We have to look after them and take care of them."

United were on a strong run of form before the pandemic halted Premier League football, with Solskjaer's men unbeaten in 11 matches and in fifth, three points behind Chelsea in the race for the final remaining Champions League qualifying spot.
