Seen all these reports on J J Gabriel of United wanting to leave, has anyone here seen him play is he that good? Would we throw our hat in the ring and show any interest?
I've never seen him play and could all just be hype (he is at United after all) so would be interesting to hear from anyone who's seen him play think.

We can laugh at them all we want but Manchester United are still one of the biggest clubs in the world with a track record of giving young players a chance.
Any 15 year old that wants to leave them either has their head up their arse or has a bad entourage and should be avoided at all costs.

Apparently he's going to Real, anyway, he's 15, how good can he be? Every year we hear about the next greatest 15-year-old only for them to disappear into obscurity. I don't even understand why this is such big news.

From what I have heard he's got huge potential. But I think United are the 4th prem youth team he's played for. From what I have read his dad is a complete nightmare. Changed his name to jj Gabriel as it sounds more marketable than his Irish birth name, stories online about his dad refusing to let his son on pitch as he didn't have no 10 shirt, tried to demand mins on pitch in pre season games.
His dad is his agent/manager and sounds like he will either make jj extremely wealthy or (the more likely outcome) ruin his career.

It’s interesting if a parent is really that bad and a club still retains the talent.
At any pro or even semi pro level the club needs to show the family who is boss. Actually even at grass roots tbf!!!
I really can’t imagine a club of our stature (and even if the slightly lower Manchester club ?) putting up with parental antics - show them the door don’t wait for them to walk to it, I say! These players parents need to understand it is the clubs that harvest the talent whether natural or not.
