Manchester United academy prospect JJ Gabriel, 15, has reportedly asked to cancel his registration with the club with immediate effect, just days before he was expected to receive his first senior call-up.
Gabriel had been in line to feature against Brighton in the Carabao Cup third round at Old Trafford, in what would have been his competitive senior debut. The teenager's reported decision has left club officials 'shocked and confused', according to sources, with United said to remain unclear about the precise reasons behind his request.
