JJ Gabriel, a 15-year-old youth footballer, is reportedly close to leaving Manchester United. The move comes amid issues in his relationship with the club and registration rules that restrict his participation, sources said.

Gabriel is considered one of the best 15-year-olds in Europe. However, Manchester United's registration rules meant that, as he was only 15, he could only feature if named on the team. The situation has echoes of Paul Pogba's exit in 2012, when the midfielder refused to sign a contract at United at 19, feeling there would not be enough opportunities under then-manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who did not get along with him. The squad's issues at the end of last week contributed to Gabriel's potential departure.
