Manchester United head coach may have inadvertently played a role in alienating the club’s teenage jewel, JJ Gabriel.The 15-year-old is widely considered the most exciting English player of his age....
Man Utd manager Ole Carrick's decision may have contributed to the desire of 15-year-old forward JJ Gabriel to leave the club, according to a report by BBC's Simon Stone. Gabriel, dubbed the most promising English player of his age, has been training with the first team and expected more game time in pre-season. However, he was denied playing time against Atletico Madrid and was replaced by 18-year-old Tynan Thompson in a friendly match.
The final straw could have been his exclusion from the Champions League match against Sabah, a move that surprised even Gabriel's supporters. Despite United's plan to register him on the A list to enable his participation, Carrick inexplicably chose Manuel Ugarte instead. With Gabriel and his entourage feeling betrayed by the club's unfulfilled promises, it is unclear if United can retain the talented forward.
