Barcelona and Real Madrid battle for Manchester United’s new gem | OneFootball

Barcelona and Real Madrid are already closely tracking one of the brightest 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 currently uncertain.

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

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

JJ Gabriel is said to have 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 surrounding the future of one of the biggest prospects in the Red Devils academy.

The English club had, in fact, planned to give him an important opportunity in an attempt to convince him to stay. His first-team debut in the EFL 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 close attention to his situation.

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

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

Now, that progress could continue away from Manchester.
