JJ Gabriel future: Man United's stance 'revealed' amid reports of Real Madrid 'agreement'

Manchester United are reportedly in the dark when it comes to JJ Gabriel's future despite reports that the attacker has agreed a move to Real Madrid.

Widely regarded as one of the best teenagers in world football, JJ Gabriel stunned Man United in September when he told the club that he wanted to leave.

JJ Gabriel made his senior debut for Man United in their pre-season game against Atletico Madrid during the summer, but he is yet to feature for the first team in a competitive match and is now set to leave the 20-time English champions.

The 16-year-old had been due to sign scholarship terms with the Red Devils last month, with a professional contract then expected to follow a year later.

However, JJ Gabriel's representatives told Man United in September that the attacker would not be signing a new contract and wanted to leave.
