The history of Manchester United was made on Saturday when the 14-year-old talent JJ Gabriel was the youngest player ever to stand up for the club under the age of 18.
Gabriel is considered one of the most talented young people in the country and he is accelerated in his development.
Baas under the age of 18 Adam Lawrence finally gave him his debut, which was in the making for weeks, on Saturday with an unbridled United Leeds United 10-1 halfway through the second half.
Mail Sport produced an extensive background last month that was read about Gabriel, with details about his rise by the ranks and how Nike sees him as the future of their Mercurial brand.
There is interest from a large number of top clubs and United knowing that they are in a fight to hold him with two important windows, one in 14 and one in 16, important in Academy Football.
Gabriel's promotion to the under-18s underlines how much United wants to keep him while they look to show him his route to the first team.
It closed a brilliant day for the club's academy with a 11-1 win over Rivals Leeds United who sent a message to Title Rivals Manchester City.
Victor Musa, who started as the most important striker, finished the day with six goals, while Jim Thwaites scored his own hat trick.
It was 9-0 during the break thanks to those two, with James Bailey and Dan poorer on the score sheet of a Leeds-Troost goal.
