"At just 14 years old, he debuted for United's Under-18s and last year he penned a long-term scholarship agreement. He has bagged goals for fun in the club's youth ranks and scored his 15th and 16th of this season for the Under-18s at the weekend against Wolves."
"For starters, the 15-year-old is currently on a scholarship agreement, not a professional contract. This means he is not professionally registered and so cannot be sent out on a standard loan."
"Young players cannot sign professional deals until they turn 17. Though Gabriel could also sign a pre-professional agreement, which automatically turns into a professional contract when he turns 17."
JJ Gabriel is a promising 15-year-old attacker in Manchester United's academy who has generated significant interest following his impressive performances. The London-born player previously trained at Chelsea and Arsenal before joining United's Carrington facility in 2022. He debuted for the Under-18s at age 14 and recently signed a long-term scholarship agreement. Gabriel has scored prolifically in youth competitions, netting 15-16 goals this season. While some supporters advocate for him to gain senior experience through a loan move, this remains impossible under current regulations. Gabriel's scholarship status means he lacks professional registration, preventing standard loan arrangements. Professional contracts cannot be signed until age 17, with Gabriel reaching that milestone in October 2027.
