Whitwell: Man Utd resigned to missing out on £100m deal in major blow for INEOS

Man Utd officials have reportedly given up hope of retaining 15-year-old JJ Gabriel. The club is currently struggling, lying 13th in the Premier League and recently being eliminated from the Carabao Cup. Gabriel, considered the most promising teenager in football, has requested a transfer, demanding a prominent role with the senior team.

Although he can leave at the end of the season or sooner if he obtains a European passport, his departure would be a significant blow to United. Real Madrid is leading the pursuit for Gabriel, who could become the biggest setback for the club since INEOS took over. This loss would further demonstrate INEOS's inability to retain their top assets, potentially damaging their credibility and trust among fans.
