"Manchester United” received a painful blow from its biggest academy talent JJ Gabriel.

Fabrizio Romano reports that the 15-year-old Englishman has informed the club of his desire to terminate his contract and move to another team.

The young "Man Utd” footballer is considered not only one of the biggest talents in the "United” academy but also in the world overall.

JJ Gabriel was preparing for the season with the "Man Utd” first team, but he was not satisfied with his very small role in the friendly matches.

Clubs like "Barcelona”, "Real”, "Chelsea”, and "Manchester City” are already trying to attract the 15-year-old.

On Wednesday, JJ Gabriel could have become the youngest player to debut for "Man Utd” in official matches in the English League Cup, but now his chances of being included in the squad have significantly decreased.

"Man Utd” still hopes that they can change the player's position, but for now, it seems that the 15-year-old will move to another club.

Interestingly, just 15, JJ Gabriel was named the best player of the previous season for the "Man Utd” U-18 team.
