Barcelona and Real Madrid battle for Manchester United's new wonderkid | OneFootball

Barcelona and Real Madrid are already closely monitoring one of the biggest prospects in Manchester United’s academy. It is JJ Gabriel, a player just 15 years old who has begun to generate huge excitement in England and whose future at Old Trafford is going through a period of uncertainty.

According to information from Fabrizio Romano, the young attacker is on the radar of both the Blaugrana side and Real Madrid.

The situation became more complicated after reports emerged about the player’s possible departure from Manchester United.

JJ Gabriel reportedly asked to leave United

According to The Telegraph, the player’s camp reportedly submitted a formal request to leave the club, arguing that the relationship between the family and Manchester United has deteriorated.

The report has fueled growing rumors about the future of one of the biggest prospects in the Red Devils academy.

The English club had, in fact, planned to give him a major opportunity in an attempt to convince him to stay. His debut with the first team in the League Cup had been considered a possibility this week.

However, the situation appears to have taken a different turn.

20 goals in 22 matches

JJ Gabriel’s statistics explain why some of Europe’s biggest clubs are already paying attention to his situation.

The player ended last season with 20 goals in 22 matches for Manchester United’s Under-18 side, numbers that quickly placed him among the club’s top prospects.

At 15, the attacker is already regarded at Old Trafford as a talent with the potential to reach the highest level.

Now, that progression could continue away from Manchester.

Barcelona and Real Madrid, on alert
