Professional footballer and Manchester United midfielder, Angel Gomes has surfaced on social media to speak on the viral video of him at a church service presided by popular Nigerian preacher, Prophet T.B. Joshua.
Angel Gomes was seen in the video which dates as far back as 2016 being ministered to by the founder and leader of Syn agogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN).
In the video. Angel lamented over the frequent injuries he sustains on his hips, groin, and ankles which consequentially affects his performance on the pitch.
In a series of tweets he made, the international footballer revealed that he went to Prophet TB Joshua for healing and deliverance which is in line with his faith as a practicing Christian.
He said before the congregation: “My name is Angel Gomes, I’m from Manchester. I’m 16. I play for the Manchester United Football Club. And I’ve been struggling really with injuries.
“I’ve been having injuries around my hip and groin which have been affecting me playing. I also suffered ankle injury not long ago which kept me out for a long time. “These injuries would come at hard times for me, times when I was having a breakthrough or times when I had to go to a tournament or playing games, these injuries would happen quite frequently.
“I play for Man United, I also represent England national team under-17 level as captain. I’ve known about the Synagogue Church of Nations for a long time.
“As my family follows the prophet, my parents are big fans. So we thought it would be a good time for me to come and be touched by the prophet.”
Reacting to a two-minute video, Gomes wrote on Twitter that he was young at the time and only did what his parents thought was best for him.
He wrote: “Regarding the video that has come out from 2016. I am from a Christian family at the time my mum was a fan of the pastor, and she really wanted me to go. I was going through some issues. From the outside looking in it looks crazy, but I was just practicing my faith.
“I didn’t really need to explain myself but a lot of people was (sic) asking me what the video was about. I was young at the time and if my parents thought something was best for me I would do it. There are far more important issues out there in the world we can tackle. For example #FreeSchoolMeals #maketheUturn!!!!!”
After being touched by Joshua, the wonder kid said he felt a ‘little shock’.
“I can really describe how I felt. Just don’t doubt what you feel on the inside. Go with your heart. When you need someone to look up to, just look to God and have faith,” he said.
