Barcelona want Manchester United teenage sensation JJ Gabriel

Barcelona are looking to lure Manchester United teenage sensation JJ Gabriel away from the Old Trafford club, according to the Sun. Gabriel has been a key player for the Man United under-18s this term, with ten goals in games to his name. The 15-year-old has trained with the Red Devils’ senior team, with manager Ruben Amorim a fan. Man United director of football Jason Wilcox convinced Gabriel to stay at the club this season and next term, but Barca want him at La Masia and are making a serious effort to sign him.

He was pictured with Lamine Yamal during a visit to Spain, and the chance to link up with the Barca star could appeal to him. Gabriel notched a hat-trick to help Man United under-18s defeat their Liverpool counterparts 7-0 last weekend. The England Under-16 international grabbed an incredible solo goal, going past four Liverpool players as he twisted and turned in the box before firing home. It is one of the reasons Barca want him, and the Red Devils will be desperate to hold on to him.
