The 15-year-old talent, who has been a key player in Manchester United's youth team since the age of 11, has informed the club of his decision to leave. Gabriel's impressive form in the Youth League, including a recent hattrick against Sabah, has raised eyebrows given his sudden desire to depart. The youngster won the Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year Award last season, a prize for the most talented youth player in the club's academy.
Gabriel's decision to leave Manchester United comes as a surprise, especially considering the club's high hopes for his future. He was set to make his debut in the first team this season and was even included in the squad for the League Cup match against Brighton & Hove Albion. However, the situation is not yet clear-cut, as Manchester United may refuse to cooperate with Gabriel's request to end his registration. The Premier League's rules state that a youth player's registration can only be terminated with the agreement of the club, the player, and their parent or guardian. If the parties cannot reach an agreement, the Premier League may be asked to make a binding decision on the matter.
