15-year-old player given chance in MU first team

MU prepare to welcome Brighton in the Premier League this weekend, but the focus of the pre-match training session was the appearance of young talent JJ ​​Gabriel.

Gabriel was signed by MU at the same time as Ronaldo's son in 2021.

During the 11 vs 11 training session, Ruben Amorim allowed some young players and reserves to participate, to help them maintain their form and adapt to the first team's rhythm. Among them, JJ Gabriel - considered as "the new Neymar" of MU, made his debut

Gabriel is one of the best talents in the Red Devils' academy. Last summer, MU had to make an effort to keep this prodigy, thanks to creating a clear path towards the first team. Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada also met directly to convince Gabriel to continue developing at Old Trafford.

This season, Gabriel has been promoted to the U18 team and has made a strong impression, scoring 7 goals and 1 assist in 6 games. Despite his young age, his ability has attracted attention not only from his club but also from major brands, with Nike beating Adidas in the race to sign the 15-year-old prodigy.

According to the Manchester Evening News , many within MU believe Gabriel could be the most outstanding talent the academy has ever produced. Coach Amorim also met Gabriel last month, discussing football philosophy, work ethic and using Cristiano Ronaldo as a role model.

Currently, Amorim will focus on the goal of winning 3 consecutive matches, when MU faces Brighton on the evening of October 25. This is an opponent that has caused the "Red Devils" to lose 4 out of the last 5 encounters.
