When the name JJ Gabriel began echoing around Manchester United’s Carrington Training Ground, few expected the 14-year-old to become one of the most talked-about youngsters in English football. Already being dubbed the ‘next Neymar,’ Gabriel has stunned coaches and fans alike with his flair, composure, and skill beyond his years. Playing several age groups above his level, he has scored seven goals in six Under-18 Premier League matches, including a 22-minute hat-trick against Derby County.
Gabriel, who boasts over 200,000 Instagram followers and a Nike sponsorship, has drawn comparisons to Neymar and Messi for his dazzling footwork and creativity. United moved swiftly to secure his future amid interest from top European clubs, with Director of Football Jason Wilcox and CEO Omar Berrada personally intervening to convince him to stay. Recently, manager Ruben Amorim met with the prodigy to inspire him with Cristiano Ronaldo’s work ethic stories.
Known for his disciplined lifestyle, Gabriel trains like a professional and has already shared the pitch with senior stars in practice. The teenager’s potential is so highly regarded that he has been offered a private box at the upcoming new Old Trafford, with many believing he could become United’s youngest-ever Premier League debutant.
