Where do you think JJ Gabriel will be by the time he is 18?🔮

He's been playing against 18-year-olds all season, but how good will he be in three years?

fredliexmulindwa4w ago

First team

geldroper4w ago

He is not ready to play in 1st team. tooyoung and not strong enough

jdotan72mo ago

Give him minutes this season, don't rush him to fast too soon.

pete.davies0072mo ago

First team, but knowing United he could be out on loan. If the first team was good enough for Whiteside and best at that early age then with today's balls and bowling green pitches it should be a walk in the park for this lad.

febced12mo ago

The mantra currently of not involving young tslent, means he will be forced to go somewhere else for 1st team football.

willysauti53mo ago

First team

paulashrig164mo ago

Those Youth Cup winners in 2022 celebrated as if @ Wembley. First cup run I watched Mainoo& that Argentinian. Well one of them has developed as hoped

yasou74mo ago

If we're doing well in a league cup game, maybe start by giving him 20 minutes or so.

garrywillis6874mo ago

If were still got the same idiots running the show he would have gone elsewhere

geldroper4w ago

Not this time unless he bulks up a lot. If you remember, or not, when Rooney came he was a big boy with a aggressive attitude. Those young players are more concerned about technick then figthers believe. Rooney didn't take no crap from anybody and that is what those young players need

jeff.dunn11635mo ago

First team

steveex20055mo ago

If he isn't playing first team football then I'd like to know who is keeping him out

ianmilne876mo ago

Top academy graduate helping united to reclaim their premier league title 👏

dancoombs6mo ago

I like this prediction very much!

joecut16mo ago

In the United's Premier team

maudo506mo ago

still developing in academy

justfoods.co.uk6mo ago

United have failed in recent years in bringing through young talent, and even if they do their search for instant success often undermines the young players development. Loan deals rarely seem to work, with the result often being injury, failure to be selected or no appreciable development. I forsee a failed loan deal.

zeke.wolf425mo ago

The fans (and some managers) don't help when they start to jump on those players. Just look at how Mainoo gets treated. Fletcher comes in and gets mauled too. Chido brought in too early and the dropped. Heaven was scapegoated earlier this year. This isn't new, CR7 got similar abuse in first seasons. We need a manager and fans who will trust a kid to learn.

stevieb_one6mo ago

Hopefully on the verge of at least getting on the bench to start with

ianmilne876mo ago

His birthday was too late this season but I can see him making his debut next season

buckleclive866mo ago

Depends on the board,they'll mess things up as usual.probably loan him out or sell him to buy back at 3/4 times the price, realising another mistake made

cumbertonjason6mo ago

We need to just let him flourish with the u18s don't put to much pressure on him we tend to hold youngsters to high when they score a goal or do some good play and it's gets to them garnacho is a perfect example of that

pigeon.boy.1.wm6mo ago

Macheda another

valsimpson446mo ago

6

gordonbuchan46mo ago

He will be a first team player at United and England International

tremolloy6mo ago

asset stripping Ratcliffe will have sold him on same as he's done with other players , pointless having a billionaire at the club if all he is doing is sacking staff to bring in new ones on minimum wage, stopping players and staff perks , stopping charity donations unless he can use it as a tax relief, the rat is literally using our club to make money , soo

soni.lifted7mo ago

Talents can't hide!

tsanwaniwilfred7mo ago

Manu first team

dale.odonnell7mo ago

First team if he continues his development at this rate.

indiestepper7mo ago

Sick and tired of the media banging on about the same 'star' names, what about Louis Bradbury? When is he going to get the recognition he deserves? His were from open play and didn't need a pen to baulk his tally.

deanrobinson5957mo ago

Either Our 1st team or worst case he kinda had a thing for Barca and they definitely have a thing for him . But hopefully he'll be faithful to us.

daniel.owen7mo ago

We've had some amazing talent come through the academy, but I don't think i can remember a buzz surrounding one player quite like this
