Manchester United wonderkid JJ Gabriel has sensationally asked to leave the club.
The 15-year-old is regarded as one of the most exciting prospects in world football, the crown jewel of United’s academy who is nicknamed ‘Kid Messi’ after the Argentine superstar.
He is eligible to make his senior debut for United this season, potentially following in the footsteps of Arsenal starlet Max Dowman who made his first-team bow at 15 in August last year.
But Gabriel has stunned United by asking the club to cancel his registration and allow him to leave, the Daily Telegraph reports.

United are yet to respond to the request but the report states the club do not regard the situation as ‘irretrievable’ with hope the situation can still be rectified.
