A Starlet from Manchester United Academy has sent fans of the club in a frenzy after scoring a remarkable solo effort.
JJ Gabriel played for the U18s of United when they met Watford on Friday, even though they were two months away from his 15th birthday.
The 14-year-old has been called 'Kid Messi' by United Supporters because of his incredible technical skills on the ball and his latest strike shows all the characteristics of the brilliant Argentinian.
In a clip that has since been spread on a large scale online, Gabriel receives the ball in the middle of a busy fine.
The Wonderkid will then effortlessly skip three defenders before he throws the ball past the goalkeeper with an insured finish up close.
Gabriel's goal quickly made waves on social media, where fans ointment the teenager as the next great talent produced by the famous Carrington Academy of the club.
One wrote: 'Boy is he a special player. May he stay in UTD for a long time and continue to develop well. 14 -year -old play so comfortably with the U18S '
Another agreed: 'Body Swerve in a roulette in a flip-flap before he ended. All in the space of ~ 2 seconds while they are surrounded by 4 players in the box.
'Goodness Me, his processing speed is only 14 -hit lists of the charts. I now understand why people say he is our answer to Lamine Lol. “
“Protected this boy at all costs,” a third added.
Colleague United Academy Prospect Edward Ibrovic-Fletcher also yielded a brace in the 6-1 victory.
The last goal of Gabriel comes only a few weeks after he received a senior squad number from United and reportedly written history.
In a recent image, Gabriel was depicted smiling with his thumbs up in United Shorts and T-shirt in the photo with his 95 team number decorated with his equipment.
And according to the transfer market, that is the highest team number in the history distributed to a united player.
The previous record was held by Godwill Kunoki, a 17-year-old center back, which the No. 87 wore in 2024-25 and stays in the books of the club.
Mail Sport reported exclusively last month how Gabriel – which England has already represented at youth level – will sign a new deal with the club, despite interest from various major European teams, including the Rivals of United.
Rode Devils' Director of Football Jason Wilcox and director of football negotiations Matt Hargreaves would have made a crucial intervention in the past week to persuade the teenager to stay in the northwest.
The Wonderkid, whose full name Joseph Junior Andreou Gabriel is, has tightened his technique with the narrow boundaries and a smaller ball of a Futsal Court.
There is a considerable hype around Gabriel, and Alfie Brooks, owner of Ole Futsal and Gabriel's specialist one-on-one coach, claimed that he is already able to get into a Premier League dressing room.
'When he first started training, [his competitiveness] Was the striking feature, “Brooks previously told Nathan Salt from Mail Sport.
'In my time I coached almost 1,000 Academy players – four of them in Josh Nichols (Arsenal), Josh Achampong (Chelsea), Sydie Peck (Sheffield United) and Tyrique George (Chelsea) made their senior debut – and JJ is ever.
