Man United are preparing to give teenage sensation JJ Gabriel a first-team opportunity following his incredible performances at youth level.
The 15-year-old striker has been in outstanding form for United’s Under-18s, scoring 21 goals in just 23 appearances this season.

His rapid rise has caught the attention of club officials, who are now planning his pathway into senior football.
With the squad set for a busy summer, Gabriel is expected to be included in the club’s pre-season tour, where he will train and potentially feature alongside first-team players.
Pre-Season Tour Opens Door For Breakthrough
United’s pre-season plans have created a unique opportunity for academy players due to the scheduling impact of the 2026 World Cup.
This has opened the door for emerging talents like Gabriel to gain valuable exposure.
The club is reportedly organising fixtures across Europe, including Scandinavia, where Gabriel could receive his first taste of senior-level football in a competitive environment, reports Standard.
Despite his impressive progress, age restrictions have limited his involvement this season.
He was unable to feature for the Under-21s or in official first-team matches, though he has already trained with senior players.
United view Gabriel as one of their brightest prospects and are keen to accelerate his development carefully.
The upcoming pre-season tour could be a defining moment in his journey toward becoming a future first-team star.
