"Just 15 years old, Gabriel is regarded as the brightest young talent coming through the ranks at Manchester United. A centre-forward by trade, who is also capable of operating on the left flank, the youngster has been in prolific form for the Manchester United Under-18 setup this season. Indeed, Gabriel has racked up ten goals and an assist in ten matches in the U-18 Premier League, including a hat-trick in the recent 7-0 thrashing of Liverpool."
"The Red Devils, however, are already taking important steps to ensure that Gabriel remains at the club for a long time. Manchester United director of football Jason Wilcox is understood to have played a key role in convincing the youngster to continue at the club this season and the next one. Wilcox's involvement was key in demonstrating to the 15-year-old forward's family how much the Red Devils value him, and therefore, there is confidence within the club that he will stay put at the club."
"It is even claimed that Amorim himself had a separate meeting with the teenager and his camp, further indicating the efforts Manchester United are making to retain the forward, who has two caps for the England U-16 national team. Barcelona, for their part, remain keen and exploring the possibility of a move for the English wonderkid, although chances of a transfer appear slim at the moment."
