JJ Gabriel trained with the Manchester United first-team this week | OneFootball

Manchester United host Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford on Saturday when Premier League action resumes, and Joseph Junior Andreou Gabriel, better known as JJ Gabriel, has revealed that he has trained with the first-team today.

The 15-year-old had been expected to join the Man United first-team training at some stage this season after the Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim spent parts of pre-season watching footage of him during internal flights on the US tour.

The Portuguese has finally called Gabriel to train with the big boys, and the teenage sensation took to social media platform Instagram to post a picture of himself in his training gear following a training match.

Amorim was impressed with what he saw from the young attacker and Man United are desperate to hold on to him as suitors have been circling around him.

Gabriel has seven goals and one assist in six appearances for the Man United under-18s in the under-18s Premier League campaign so far this term and could soon be knocking on the first-team door.

He was part of the Red Devils under-19s squad that played at the prestigious Mladen Ramljak Tournament in Croatia back in August, and has continued to impress at youth level despite clocking 15 earlier this month.

The likes of Barcelona and Bayern Munich have Gabriel on their radar, which is one of the reasons Man United recently arranged a meeting between him and Amorim to map out his trajectory as they look to hold on to him.

Angel Gomes became the youngster player to feature for the Red Devils aged 16 Years, 8 Months and 20 Days when he came off the bench against Crystal Palace in the final match of the 2016-17 Premier League season.

Gabriel could break that record soon and Man United will hope he turns out to be a top star going forward.
