The Under-14 star was a relative unknown outside of his home town before smashing four goals against a Manchester United age-group side, earning him a six-week trial with the most successful club in English football history.
Gundogan reported impressed the coaches during his spell in Manchester and has secured a permanent spot in the academy.
The attacking midfielder was named in a North Wales development squad earlier this season and was already expected to punch above his age and make the Wales Under-16 XI before the end of the campaign. But a move to United will only further accelerate his rapid progress.
A Nomads spokesman told Wales Online:
[He's] a very gifted player who is comfortable up front or in attacking midfield. 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.
