Transfer: JJ Gabriel Asks To Leave Man Utd Immediately

Manchester United youngster JJ Gabriel has reportedly asked the club to cancel his registration with immediate effect.

According to the UK Telegraph, the 15-year-old has formally informed the club of his desire to become a free agent.

Manchester United have not accepted the request and reportedly believe they can still resolve the situation and keep the highly-rated youngster.

Gabriel has been with United since the age of 11 and the club has the right to challenge his request to cancel his registration.

The teenager’s situation has attracted attention after he deleted all the pictures from his Instagram account last week.

Gabriel currently has more than 800,000 followers on Instagram, making him one of the most followed young football prospects.
