Since its inception, Manchester United has generated excitement at its academy, producing some talented young players who have caught the eye of the senior squad.
The club’s recruitment and development strategy continues to yield excellent possibilities, especially as the emphasis on integrating young players into first-team routines increases.
Players like Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho have emerged from the academy and started for the first squad in recent years.
With JJ Gabriel currently shining in academy football, it appears like the tradition will continue.
One of the most promising young players in football right now is JJ Gabriel of Manchester United.
He is one of the best young players in the Manchester United academy as of now.
He was moved to the U18 squad for the new season after signing a new deal to stay at the club.
He had interest from top clubs like Barcelona but decided to stay.
He broke a record, becoming the club’s youngest goal scorer in the U18.
And now his form isn’t stopping.

JJ Gabriel scored a hat-trick in the first half in today’s U18 game against Derby County U18, where the Red Devils won 4-0.
That is now 8 goals in 6 games for the 14-year-old.
When JJ Gabriel made his Under-18 debut against Leeds United in April, he impressed against opponents who were often older and physically stronger than him.
The young star may occasionally be drafted into first-team training sessions after Ruben Amorim met Gabriel in person at the Carrington training facility.
It is very uncommon for players as young as Gabriel to train with the senior team, despite the fact that it is common for academy players to do so, particularly following games when several first-team players are recovering.
It will be interesting to see how he develops as the season carries on.
