JJ Gabriel. Manchester United’s exceptional 15-year-old with 29 goals in 32 U18 appearances. Teenager Carrick was set to make it into the first-team squad. That was the plan, but not Gabriel’s. Now, Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG and Bayern Munich are all jumping at the opportunity.
According to The Athletic , Gabriel wants to leave the English giant, and has asked to be released from his contract here and now. The 15-year-old was earmarked for a place in the first-team squad on Wednesday night when United face Brighton in the Carabao Cup, where Gabriel was due to train with United’s first team on Saturday, but was absent from the training ground because he wants to leave the club. He was also not seen on the training ground on Monday, reports The Athletic.

The English media claims that the biggest clubs are all opening the door to the ultra-talent. Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG and Bayern Munich are ready.
According to the newspaper, United have no intention of granting the request, and still hope that a solution can be found to the problem.
At the same time, the management is investigating whether they should even prevent his departure when he turns 16 on October 6. Brexit rules stipulate that a player must be 18 years old to move from England, but JJ Gabriel can reportedly use a loophole.
